Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed Tuesday to demolish three years of stalemate over Brexit, as Britain’s political leaders geared up for a frantic final day of general election campaigning.
Johnson’s centre-right Conservatives have been consistently ahead in the opinion polls but YouGov’s final survey of the campaign predicted they were set only for a narrow majority — with the race tightening. The new poll forecast that the Conservatives would take 339 seats , with the Labour main opposition on 231 .
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn sought Tuesday to exploit the Conservatives’ perceived weakness on state healthcare and divert attention from his own mixed messages on Brexit. Labour claimed that nearly 4,700 deaths between October 2018 and November 2019 could be attributed to “patient safety incidents” caused by NHS staffing constraints.Labour accuses Johnson of abandoning the principle of free treatment for all by secretly plotting to open up the NHS to pharmaceutical giants in a new trade deal with US President Donald Trump.Surveys show the NHS being almost as important to voters as Brexit itself.
