In the final stretch of the general election campaign, party leaders are intensifying their efforts to sway voters as Thursday's poll approaches. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, speaking at a Conservative Party rally, underscored the importance of every vote, emphasizing that the outcome of the election is not predetermined.

Making a notable appearance on the campaign trail alongside Sunak was former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Together, they reiterated their warnings about a potential Labour "supermajority". Sunak further emphasized that voting for the Conservatives translates to supporting lower taxes.

On the other side of the political spectrum, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer embraced the idea of a substantial majority for his party, believing it would enable him to bring significant changes to the country. However, Starmer also sought to manage expectations, acknowledging that change might not happen as quickly as some polls predict.

The Conservatives, initially faced with a significant polling deficit, have been cautioning against a landslide victory for Labour since mid-June, fearing it could grant the opposition party a "supermajority". Sunak echoed this concern at the rally, while Johnson warned against supporting Nigel Farage's Reform UK, expressing fears that it would lead to a Labour government. Johnson also criticized Farage for his views on the West's role in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

However, Sunak's campaign strategy was criticized by Suella Braverman, a former home secretary who was dismissed by Johnson in 2023. Braverman argued that the Conservative Party was losing support from both the left and the right, declaring the contest over. She blamed her party's failure to address immigration and tax issues for the rise of Reform UK in the opinion polls.

Braverman also highlighted concerns about the Conservative Party's response to racist comments within its ranks, pointing out that accepting donations from individuals with controversial views undermined their ability to criticize Reform UK. These comments come in the wake of allegations that donor Frank Hester made offensive remarks about Labour's Diane Abbott.

In other campaign developments, Sir Keir addressed Tory attacks on his remarks about not working past 6 pm on Fridays to spend time with his family. Sunak took a swipe at the Labour leader, boasting that he had never finished at 6 pm. Sir Keir dismissed the attack as "laughably pathetic," acknowledging the challenges of maintaining work-life balance as prime minister.

Furthermore, Sir Keir acknowledged that a Labour government would likely need to continue releasing prisoners early to tackle prison overcrowding, as building new prisons overnight is not feasible.

As the final day of campaigning comes to a close, the fate of the election now lies in the hands of the voters, who will determine the future direction of the country.
