One day to go. One day until an election that presents voters with a stark choice between a country run for the privileged few and a country run for working people.

We know what David Cameron’s record has been – a record of failure and broken promises.

And nowhere is this truer than in the NHS. In the past five years, more than 4.5 million people have been forced to wait more than four hours in A&E, almost 300,000 operations have been cancelled and over 800,000 patients have been kept waiting on trolleys. We have even seen a treatment tent put up in a hospital car park.

Now a financial bombshell beneath the NHS has been revealed: two-thirds of hospital trusts are projected to run a deficit in this financial year because of a cash crisis made in Downing Street.

The NHS can’t afford another five years of the Tories. It is essential we implement Labour’s immediate rescue plan for the NHS, a plan based on care, compassion and co-operation, not privatisation, fragmentation and competition. A real plan for real action in the NHS with real money right now – not the flimsy IOU offered by the Tories and Liberal Democrats.

Our Time to Care Fund will recruit 20,000 more nurses, 8,000 more GPs, 5,000 more care workers and 3,000 more midwives.

And the past five years have proven the redundancy of the Tories’ theory that if a privileged few are looked after, everyone else will get dragged along behind.

Portfolio: Marginal Streets Show all 6 1 /6 Portfolio: Marginal Streets Portfolio: Marginal Streets Emily, Kilburn "I'm not going to vote. Mostly because I'm not in the country, but also because I don't feel passionate about this election. I don't feel anyone has said anything that stands out to make me sway to one side or the other. Everyone's talking about the housing shortage, but I don't think anyone is making major changes to their policies that would say to me that I'd be in a better position to buy a property in the next five years. I'm approaching 30 and a lot of policies seem to be aimed towards retirees and older people rather than the young." Joseph Fox and Orlando Gili Portfolio: Marginal Streets Neil, Hampstead Town "I'm going to vote Conservative. I have always voted Conservative. They stand for independence of the individual, they seek to exclude governmental interference with people's lives as far as possible, and I think they represent the Christian virtues I've just been celebrating in the church." Joseph Fox and Orlando Gili Portfolio: Marginal Streets Claire, Frognal and Fitzjohns "I am slightly undecided. I'm a natural Lib Dem, but I'll probably vote Labour in order to make a more decisive impact on the next government. I feel that the Conservatives don't have in mind people who find life more difficult than the rest and who are poor and challenged in various ways. I ran a homeless shelter here for a while and it was clear that people were falling through the net. I feel a more socialist or liberal view would serve them better." Joseph Fox and Orlando Gili Portfolio: Marginal Streets Peter, West Hampstead "Ukip. They're the only party that's going to try to do something about immigration and getting us out of Europe. The biggest mistake the Tory party ever made was an alliance with the Liberal Democrats. Labour? I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole." Joseph Fox and Orlando Gili Portfolio: Marginal Streets Gabriel, Belsize "I'm not exactly sure yet, but it's probably between the Lib Dems and Labour. I'm 18 and this is my first election. I haven't looked into both manifestos yet – and I didn't get a clear picture from the leaders' debate. Miliband was good; I felt Clegg didn't speak enough. The Conservatives' long-term economic plan sounds ominous; it might be a bit too costly. It's good that we have a multi-party system in the UK – but we needed to hear more from just the main three parties in the debate. No one got enough airtime." Joseph Fox and Orlando Gili Portfolio: Marginal Streets Carlos, Fortune Green "I would vote for the Lib Dems. They've done a good job in the past few years for schools and transport. My problem with politicians is that they mention that they're going to do something about what's going on in the boroughs – they always come up with how much it'll cost and when they're going do it – but they're just trying to catch people's eyes. You kind of lose faith in them." Joseph Fox and Orlando Gili

Average wages are down £1,600 since David Cameron entered Downing Street; low-paid, insecure jobs or zero-hours contracts have become an inescapable reality for millions; home ownership is at its lowest level for 30 years.

We have a better plan for a better future. Our approach is based on the simple idea that Britain only succeeds when all its working people succeed. Only Labour will reward hard work by raising the Minimum Wage to more than £8 by October 2019. Only Labour will freeze energy bills, so they can fall but not rise, until 2017, and extend free childcare from 15 to 25 hours for working parents of three- and four-year-olds.

Only Labour has a proper plan to restore the dream of home ownership by building at least 200,000 new homes a year and take action for Generation Rent. And only Labour will eliminate the archaic non-dom rule to ensure fairness in the tax system.

Unlike the Tories, our manifesto isn’t full of unfunded and unbelievable claims. We will build a strong economic foundation with balanced books and reduce the deficit every year. We will protect child benefit and tax credits that working people rely on, while the Tories will cut them.

I’m not asking you to vote simply for Labour tomorrow. I’m asking you to vote to reward hard work again for everyone in our country, to build a future for all our young people, to rescue our NHS and, above all, to vote for a country where we put working families first. That’s what’s on the ballot paper.
