Theresa May was jeered this morning on a visit to Smithfield market on the eve of Thursday's general election.

The trip could have kicked off the last day of Mrs May’s campaign by highlighting her common touch – but as she visited one stall, butchers at another stand shouted “vote Labour”.

In the early morning trip, Mrs May walked through the market in Farringdon together with her husband Philip.

Footage shows Mrs May amid mixed charcuterie, continuing to make conversation with workers at one food stall as boos are heard from another.

The hecklers repeat “vote Labour” as Mrs May walks from the cameras, retreating further into the shop.

Mrs May was pictured during the trip at meat counters as she smiled and laughed alongside butchers in bloodied overalls.

The Prime Minister's Twitter feed cast the visit in a positive light, saying Mrs May would "keep our economy strong to help small businesses".

Mrs May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn hit the campaign trail on Wednesday, criss-crossing the country in eleventh-hour bids for votes.

Mr Corbyn, who has warned voters they have "24 hours to save the NHS", is set to sweep the length of the country from Scotland to London.

Meanwhile polls showed that Labour has slashed the Tory lead ahead of election day, suggesting Britain could be headed a hung parliament.

A Survation poll found the Tories on 41.5 per cent and Labour on 40.4 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats on six per cent and Ukip on three per cent.
