With wind in sails, Corbyn wins hearts in Brexit town

Labour closing gap in opinion polls after 'wobbly week' for Tories

Meanwhile, The Sun reported claims that Labour's tax-raising plans - which the party says will hit only big business and the richest 5% - will cost an average of £3,500 per household.

Jill Coleman, a 70-year-old party activist dressed in her Sunday best, said May was "absolutely fabulous" and posed for a picture in front of the Conservatives' blue election "battlebus".

Jeremy Corbyn has accused Theresa May of risking a "jobs meltdown" as the two main party leaders clashed over their rival plans for Brexit.

The Labour leader was introduced to the stage by Kier Starmer at roughly 2.45pm and received three standing ovations throughout his appearance.

The opposition Labour party polled 39 percent against the Conservatives' 42 percent.

Labour success appears to be grounded particularly among younger voters: "these have always been more inclined to support Labour than the Conservatives, but the Labour advantage among 18-24 year old voters in our latest poll is running at approximately three-to-one".This provoked Jim Messina, May's US consultant, to tweet that he had spent the day "laughing at another stupid poll from YouGov" and offering a charity bet that they had got it wrong.

"Set free from the shackles of European Union control, we will be a great, global trading nation once again bringing new jobs and new opportunities for ordinary working families here at home", she said.

"I still can't quite see him as prime minister".

Basildon, a town of 180,000 people in the county of Essex, is held by Conservative MP John Baron who won it from Labour in 2010.

At the Corbyn event, the Labour leader said he was ready to begin the Brexit negotiations if his party won the election.

"We regularly monitor the outputs of four electoral models - Electoral Calculus, Elections Etc, Election Forecast and Nigel Marriott - which use data from opinion polls to forecast the number of seats that each party will win".

"Theresa May is saying I will get the best deal from Brexit - she can not even turn up at a leaders' debate". "Theresa May is using this election for Brexit, but actually on the doorstep, people aren't mentioning that", she said, handing out leaflets outside a shopping arcade, numerous buildings locked up. Let's be clear: "No deal" is in fact a bad deal. This great national moment needs a great national effort in which we pull together with a unity of objective and, however we voted in the referendum last June, we come together with a determination to make a success of the years ahead. It's going to happen.

Speaking on Good Morning Wales, the first minister said the Labour leader - if elected prime minister - could achieve all he wanted in a Brexit deal "by turning up at the negotiations and actually being able to be fleet of foot".
