Home secretary tells BBC that Labour is ‘willing to distort the British political system’ as Rishi Sunak campaigns in Staffordshire
While the Conservatives are implying that people should vote on Thursday not in the realistic hope of a Tory government, but to stop Labour winning with a massive majority (see 8.47am), Labour’s message this morning is that its supporters cannot take victory for granted. Jonathan Ashworth, the shadow Cabinet Office minister, was giving interviews this morning and this is what he told Sky News:
There’s an election on Thursday and if people want to bring an end to the chaos, to the scandals from the party in No 10 to the insider gambling scandals, if people have had enough of being stuck on an NHS waiting list, if people who’ve had enough of having their family finances hammered and pay more on their mortgage, they’ve got to come out and vote Labour.
Labour has been making this point on its social media advertising.
