The Prime Minister has started the final day of the campaign before polling day delivering milk in Yorkshire. By the end of today, he will be door knocking in Essex and speaking directly to voters. Throughout today, he’ll reinforce that:
- This election is too close to call - and every single vote will count.
- We have spent the last three years arguing; rerunning the arguments around leave or remain, rather than accepting that there was a clear result and implementing the will of the people.
- Let’s make 2020 about the people of this country and not its politicians. Let’s get out of the rut of the last three years and get on with our work of making this the greatest place to live and to start a family – a country where everybody has the opportunity to make the most of their lives.
- The only way to achieve that is by voting Conservative.
Meanwhile yesterday, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary privately admitted that he doesn’t think Jeremy Corbyn is fit to be Prime Minister. He said:
- Voters ‘can’t stand Corbyn and they think Labour's blocked Brexit’. He also said that senior Government officials would have to ‘quickly move to safeguard security things’ from Jeremy Corbyn – just showing that not even his closest allies can trust the Labour leader with Britain's national security.
- If even Corbyn’s closest political allies think he is unfit to be Prime Minister, why on earth should voters be expected to put their trust in him and them? As Ashworth himself says, only a vote for Boris Johnson and the Conservatives will mean we can get Brexit done.
This is the final day of the campaign before polling day. Make sure today that on the doorstep, you remember these key points.
This election is happening because a gridlocked and broken Parliament refused to respect the referendum result – or let the government govern.
The choice is between a majority government that can act or another paralysed hung Parliament that cannot.
A Conservative majority government will:
- Get Brexit done
- Ensure there are 50,000 more nurses and put record investment in the NHS
- Recruit 20,000 more police and tougher sentences
- Invest in education, technology, and infrastructure to drive opportunity and prosperity
- Keep economy strong and debt low
- Take back control of immigration with an Australian-style points system
A hung Parliament stuck in neutral with more of the same indecision and uncertainty we have had for the last three years:
- Corbyn as PM propped up by Nicola Sturgeon
- Two more chaotic referendums on Brexit and Scotland
- A reckless economic policy that takes us back to square one – with higher debt and taxes you will pay for
Every vote counts, and the Conservatives only need 9 more seats to win a majority government that will:
- Stop the chaos
- End the uncertainty
- Get Brexit done
- Unleash Britain’s potential
