Leaders and politicians of all parties are coming out swinging today as the general election campaign enters its 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 warned 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 argues 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.”Rishi Sunak cautions of ‘decisive harm’ during Labour’s initial 100 days of rule

Sunak says Labour ‘cannot be trusted’

The Conservative Party is continuing its warning that a Labour government would see taxes rise, and the prime minister is arguing electing Sir Keir would do “irreversible damage within just 100 days of coming to power.”

Mr. Sunak said Labour’s plans to impose VAT on private school fees would risk “throwing thousands of families’ plans for the autumn term into chaos, with children wondering if they will have a desk at school to go back to.”

He also claimed that Labour would make Britain the “soft touch migrant capital of the world” with “open borders” and an “illegal migrant amnesty.”

The prime minister added: “They cannot be trusted. We must not surrender our taxes, our borders and our security to them. Only the Conservatives will deliver tax cuts, a growing economy and a brighter, more secure future for everyone.”

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron went further in an interview with The Sunday Times, suggesting that a Labour government would be a threat to national security.

He told the newspaper that Sir Keir is in danger of weakening Britain’s position. He also warned that Sir Keir’s actions could weaken Britain’s defenses unnecessarily.

The former prime minister described Labour as “hopelessly naive about the dangerous world in which we’re living.” He added: “The last thing we need in Britain now is another liberal leftie lawyer running the country.”

Sir Keir responded with a remark. The government has acknowledged the great trust they have in us on national security. They have provided us with “high-level sensitive briefings” as evidence of this trust.Rishi Sunak cautions of ‘decisive harm’ during Labour’s initial 100 days of rule

“They have become quite desperate before this election,” he stated. “Making such a ridiculous claim now only shows this.”

Starmer appeals for ‘clear mandate’ to govern

The Labour leader and potential next chancellor, Rachel Reeves, also spoke to The Sunday Times, where they talked about their goal of getting housebuilding ramped up “on day one” if they win the election.

The newspaper reports that at least three housing announcements are expected in the first fortnight of a Labour government. These announcements are said to address the lack of opportunities for young people from working-class backgrounds to own homes. The opportunities are reportedly non-existent.

In an article for The Observer, Sir Keir wrote that if voters elect Labour on Thursday, the work of change begins. Once in power, we will repair our public services with an immediate cash injection. We will also implement urgent reforms.Rishi Sunak cautions of ‘decisive harm’ during Labour’s initial 100 days of rule

He attacked the Tories’ record in power. If they are re-elected, Britain will be trapped in a low-growth, high-tax, declining public services doom-loop.

“Their manifesto’s unfunded spending will lead to chaos in the economy. They will prioritize their own needs over those of the country,” he added. Or

Frankly, if they win another term in parliament after their past actions, they might believe they can do anything without consequences. Should they win another five years in power, given their past behavior, they may think they have carte blanche.

What do voters think of manifestos?

He appealed for a “clear mandate” to implement his plans, pointing to “chaos” under Mr. Sunak and Liz Truss before him as examples of what happens when prime ministers seek to “govern without that mandate.”Rishi Sunak cautions of ‘decisive harm’ during Labour’s initial 100 days of rule
