The party leaders are set for a frantic day of campaigning as they criss-cross the country to promote key messages ahead of Thursday’s general election.

Jeremy Corbyn will say Labour offers a “vote for hope”, while Boris Johnson will say the Tories are the only party who can “get Brexit done”.

Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson will also call on people to back her candidates to stop the UK leaving the EU.

Polls will open at 07:00 GMT on Thursday and close at 22:00.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, who is also expected to be making her final pitch to voters, has published an open letter calling Boris Johnson the “greatest danger to Scotland of any Tory prime minister in modern times”.

In terms of the polls, the Conservatives retain a solid lead over Labour, according to the BBC’s opinion poll tracker.

A poll produced by YouGov released on Tuesday evening suggests the Conservatives are on course for a small majority of around 28 – but the pollster points out that the margin of error means neither another hung Parliament nor a larger Tory majority can be ruled out.

Labour is hoping for a late swing in its favour, as happened in the 2017 general election, while the Tories are warning about the possibility of a hung Parliament, amid concerns about voter complacency.

Both Conservative and Labour party leaders will be hoping to put a rocky few days behind them, as they embark on the traditional election-eve tour of target seats. Read more
