in for the largest majority. let's join nick urgently, travelling with the conservative campaigner —— nick eardley. the final chance to pitch. yeah, it is, six weeks after, this is rishi sunak�*s last moment. we are in hampshire, not farfrom where rishi sunak was brought up. i got to say, having done the first few days, and how doing the last few days, it feels very different. there is always going to be an uphill struggle for the conservatives. but the first few days, rishi sunak was trying to get out of the front foot, trying to get out of the front foot, trying to get out of the front foot, trying to dominate the agenda with a
8:02 pm
big policy ideas. it feels very different here tonight. there are a few dozen activists who have turned up few dozen activists who have turned up for this speech, but rishi sunak isn't talking all that much about what to do with power any more. the speech she's going to make tonight is similar to the ones we heard over the past 48 hours or so. —— key. they're all about trying to stop the labour majority. and he was asked several times about those comments we've heard today from mel stride, saying it was likely to be a labour majority. rishi sunak is adamant he's not the towel in. he makes the argument if
8:03 pm
enough people change their mind tomorrow, that is possible the conservatives could still win. the word he uses is it could make the difference. not sure if it means a majority is just stopping a labour majority. but when you speak to conservative candidates and staffers, i think there is a sense of resignation that is not going to go their way tomorrow. they needed to go all but perfectly to be in with a chance. we expect rishi sunak literally within the next few seconds to give his final rally of the campaign. just popping into this building. you can hear the chance. i think you can show them on the

8:14 pm
clear about what he believes. yes, he is, clear about what he believes. yes, he is. martin _ and richey see you next sees it on a pretty... the gloomy warning that there was going to be a big labour majority. rishi sunak saying he's going to fight until the last minute. he'll be off to his own constituency to vote, and i suspect he'll be campaigning hard tomorrow. that's it, that is his last big speech of the campaign — six weeks on from calling the election in downing street. this is mr sunak�*s last pitch to the electorate. i imagine, and speaking to senior tories, a lot feel that this campaign has not gone the way they wanted. they know they have a mountain to climb in the first place and they know it was always going to be difficult because of the polls, but there have been situations like
8:15 pm
leaving d—day early, which caused a lot of dismay in the conservative party. there religion staff members gambling on the date of the election —— there were allegedly. it hasn't been without its problems for the conservative party, and is all we had that message from the prime minister, who is still in there with his wife, i do think when we speak to candidates privately and ministers, i think there is a growing sense of resignation on friday, and what exactly that will look like. what we've seen over the past of a few hours, he's trying to make a case to wavering tory voters. now considering voting for someone else, maybe nigel farage you run the
8:16 pm
risk of having a massive labour majority. that was the message he was trying to hammer home. it was a core vote strategy. it doesn't feel he has much optimism about winning the crunch of seats that often decide a general election, and that's why he's been in places like hampshire and oxfordshire in the final days of the campaign. hick. final days of the campaign. nick, the picture _ final days of the campaign. nick, the picture is _ final days of the campaign. nick, the picture is different. - final days of the campaign. nick, the picture is different. in - the picture is different. in different parts of the country, we've seen the liberal democrats focusing very much on certain seats that they think they can win before. whoever the party is, they're all looking to unseat what has been a big conservative majority since 2019. big conservative ma'ority since 2019. ., big conservative ma'ority since 2019. . , ., ., 2019. yeah, exactly, and that's what makes tory — 2019. yeah, exactly, and that's what makes tory candidates _ 2019. yeah, exactly, and that's what makes tory candidates very - 2019. yeah, exactly, and that's what| makes tory candidates very nervous. this is the kind of place that the lib dems are hoping to pick up. they
8:17 pm
try to gate crash one event later today. you have a number of events, well over 100 constituencies that are held by tory, and labour are targeting. in places that they've never won before interestingly, we've seen keir starmer travelling in places like oxfordshire and the cotswolds, hoping he could do things you haven't managed before. likewise, in scotland, the snp are hoping to take some seats from the conservatives as well. the truth is we don't know exactly what is going to happen tomorrow. the votes are never done until they're done. but all throughout this campaign, all throughout this week in particular, speaking to tories privately, speaking to tories privately, speaking to tories privately, speaking to people who are standing for parliament, those candidates
8:18 pm
some of those key seats, there is a fear of what tomorrow might bring. that was reflected by ministers like mel stride. when he said he thought it was now likely there would be a big labour majority, it was important people thought about how effective and opposition they wanted. he's one of rishi sunak�*s closest allies. he's not an outlier, he's somebody who has the ear of the prime minister, who knows what's going on. can't predict for sure what's going to happen tomorrow. it's down to voters. but speaking to people in the tory campaign, seeing how the mood has changed, they're not optimistic at all.— not optimistic at all. nick, quite a few really big _ not optimistic at all. nick, quite a few really big names _ not optimistic at all. nick, quite a few really big names in _ not optimistic at all. nick, quite a few really big names in politics i few really big names in politics from all parties have decided not to stand, some because they've been in parliament a very long time. but we potentially could see some other big
8:19 pm
names no longer in the house of commons after tomorrow. that house is going to look very different. it is, and you could be losing a lot of the conservative face is that people have got to know over the last few years. there a lot of names in the mix. there seats that are looking extremely tight. parts of the south of england, where the lib dems are trying to pick up seats. other key cabinet ministers who might now be in the fire, there are whispers that even liz truss, the former tory leader, might be in trouble in her seat. there could be big casualties tomorrow. with the hope that rishi sunak has, the hope he's been vocalizing all day, and some of these areas where it looks tight, he can persuade enough people who have been true tories in the past to turn
8:20 pm
up, even if it's reluctant or if it means backing a leader they perhaps don't like. it's a chance to perhaps make sure there is not the labour majority that is calculated. it could go the other way as well. it's plausible that mr sunak is hoping to winjust in the plausible that mr sunak is hoping to win just in the tories lose just. that's what a lot of people will be looking out for on thursday night. are the conservatives having an ok night? orare are the conservatives having an ok night? or are they having a terrible night? or are they having a terrible niuht? ., , ., ., , .,, night? how helpful or otherwise has the former home _ night? how helpful or otherwise has the former home secretary's - the former home secretary's interaction been? she says she things it's all overfor interaction been? she says she things it's all over for the conservatives. i things it's all over for the conservatives.— things it's all over for the conservatives. ., �* ~ �* , conservatives. i don't think it's hel ful conservatives. i don't think it's helpful at _ conservatives. i don't think it's helpful at all. _ conservatives. i don't think it's helpful at all. i _ conservatives. i don't think it's helpful at all. i think—

"we now need to prepare for what opposition might look like." she was talking about what the conservatives do after the general election and her argument was asked to the right and win back those voters who have gone to reform and figure out why the were so disillusioned. she was firing the starting gun. it could be a pretty bitter battle within the conservative party for what comes next. i wouldn't be surprised if ms. braverman, if it doesn't go the
8:22 pm
conservatives' way, i won't be surprised if you put yourself forward. it felt as if that she was firing that starting gun and saying the recriminations to start now. nick, for the moment, thank you very much. let's head to the west midlands, where keir starmer is about to speak.— midlands, where keir starmer is about to seak. . ~' ,. . about to speak. thank you so much, and don't you _ about to speak. thank you so much, and don't you have _ about to speak. thank you so much, and don't you have a _ about to speak. thank you so much, and don't you have a brilliant - and don't you have a brilliant candidate in chris is my cheering in11 hours, we in 11 hours, we get the chance to start voting to get chris to turn from being a candidate to being a member of parliament! cheering and thank you _ member of parliament! cheering and thank you for _ member of parliament! cheering and thank you for that _ member of parliament! cheering and thank you for that reception, | and thank you for that reception, that warm reception. it is day 42,

8:24 pm
we've seen for 14 long years. or tomorrow, to turn the page and start tomorrow, to turn the page and start to rebuild our country. so... so, if you're a family that has been struggling so hard over the last few months and years with the cost of living crisis bearing down on you, if you're a business that's struggled because of the damage to the economy done by the tory government, if you served your country in uniform or your community in places like this, then this labour campaign is for you. the change we are fighting for is for you. the vote in the power is yours tomorrow. if you want change, you
8:25 pm
have to vote for it, because change only happens if you vote for it. cheering and we stand here, we stand here on the eve of the election as a change labour party. a labour party that has pushed protests one side, has returned our party to the service of working people and proudly says country first, party second. and thank you for all the work that you have done, notjust in this campaign, but in all the other election campaigns that you have fought and for standing with us as we change this party. this is vindication of the hard work that we have done to stand here before the electorate saying we've changed our
8:26 pm
party, we're a changed labour party. we are asking for the opportunity to change our country and put our country back in the service of working people. and we have a plan, the first steps of government, to start straight away for collection to serve our country, giving our appointments to bring down those waiting list. we got before and we will do it again. recruiting the teachers we need for our schools to make sure every single teacher, every single child, whatever their background, whatever they came from, has the opportunity that they deserve to go as far as their talent will take them. to recruit the police they need in our neighbourhood, to deal with anti—social behaviour and night crime so that everybody can feel
8:27 pm
safe in their own community —— nice crime. to create our border security command and take back control —— set up gb energy, lack of publicly owned company —— knife crime. that will keep our bills down, give us energy security and secure the jobs of the future. that is what we can be getting on with on day one. but if people tomorrow feel that his job done, that the polls have somehow predicted the future, they don't need to go and vote, or they're not yet convinced about change, not convinced it can happen, not convinced it can happen, not convinced that they need to come back and vote for change — and many constituencies will be tight, this one will be tight. it is incredible
8:28 pm
