It said the Conservative's hopes of gaining seats in London have been dashed by a huge 17-point lead opening up for Labour, and instead May's party could lose seats.

The mangers of the distribution funds at United Kingdom fund management giant Jupiter have dubbed next week's United Kingdom general election a "brief sideshow", arguing that the City is more likely to see an impact on financial markets due to Brexit negotiations, regardless of which party is in power. They'll choose from 3303 candidates standing in 650 parliamentary constituencies.

Britain's economy slowed more sharply than first thought in early 2017 as consumers felt the hit from rising inflation, official data showed last week, losing a lot of its momentum of previous year.

Prime Minister Theresa May's government gave no credence to the Labour announcement, saying a Labour win next week would lead to fewer jobs.

Debates are a bit pointless: Finally, May believes that debates simply boil down to petty fighting between political leaders, something she isn't interested in getting involved in.

Leonard voted Conservative at the last election but accused May of backtracking on her promise not to call a snap election.

The clash came as Conservatives stepped up their assaults on Mr Corbyn amid opinion polls suggesting that their lead over Labour is shrinking with less than a week to go to the June 8 election.

"Over the next seven days, I will fight to earn every vote in this election".

The income tax rate would rise to 45p for earnings above £80,000 and then to 50p in each pound earned over £123,000.

Today in York ahead of the BBC Question Time programme, Mr Corbyn will say that Labour, if it won power, would create an engine of investment and growth in Britain's economy to produce at least one million "good jobs". It also appears fairly certain that many previously unsuccessful planning applications could be overturned in relation to green belt and brown land.

Healthcare - including funding for the National Health Service (NHS) - education, defence and welfare have also featured prominently in the campaign.

Prime Minister Theresa May had decided not to debate Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on television. May called for the vote in April in a bid to boost her negotiating hand during the two-year-long Brexit talks with the EU.

In a particularly heated exchange with Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who quipped that the Labour leader's economics presumed the existence of a "money tree", Corbyn argued that the Conservatives are out of touch with the needs of the most vulnerable. But behind their shared optimism about Britain's ability to cling to the benefits of the single market without membership, increasing daylight is emerging between them on the best way of reaching this ambitious goal.

At the campaign event in Pitsea, Basildon, Emily Thornberry, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, made clear that a Labour government, if there were a hung parliament, would not seek to do any formal deals with other parties but run as a minority administration.

Neither party have released details of how they would manage migration after Brexit, but Labour has promised to guarantee the rights of European Union citizens in the UK.
