Leaders and politicians of all parties are coming out swinging today as the general election campaign enters the final days.

Rishi Sunak is today saying that Labour would cause "irreversible damage within just 100 days of coming to power", while his top lieutenants warn of the "danger" of a government led by Sir Keir Starmer.

With polls throughout the campaign showing the Conservative Party failing to make a dent in Labour's 21-point lead, according to the Sky News Poll Tracker, the prime minister only has days to change minds across the country in his bid to retain power.

Meanwhile, the Labour leader is arguing that if the Conservatives are re-elected, "they will feel entitled to continue serving themselves, rather than putting the needs of our country first".

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey is continuing to promote his party's proposals for the NHS, while SNP leader John Swinney is arguing that the Scottish public should "vote SNP to put Scotland's interests first".
