Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson said votes for her party could stop Brexit, adding: "Our Country can be better than what Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are trying to say is the only way forward. "

The SNP's Nicola Sturgeon said a vote for her party was a vote to stop further cuts to public services and to "stop Scotland being dragged out of the EU against its will".

Mr Johnson said the Conservatives' plans - including a law to ensure extra funding for the NHS every year and 20,000 new police offices - were "fantastically ambitious".

He added: "We can achieve all of these things. But we can't if our politics is paralysed by Brexit. We have to move it forward. "

Asked about his reaction to the photo of a Sick Boy who had to sleep on The Floor of a hospital due to a lack of beds, Mr Johnson said: "Obviously I think that anybody who experiences a bad time in the NHS has my full, full sympathies.

"We've all been there and anybody who has had a bad experience in A& E will know exactly how that family feels, and that is why I want to concentrate on getting cash into the NHS, taking the country forward. "

But he reiterated that "Only If you get Brexit done [can you] move the country forward".

Speaking at his final rally in London, Mr Johnson there was "24 hours to break the deadlock".

He said the Conservative government would "make sure we give Our Children and grandchildren The Future they deserve in This Country ".

Mr Johnson ended by Saying : "Let's get Brexit done and take this incredible country forwards Together . "

'Incredible message'

Also speaking to Laura Kuenssberg , Mr Corbyn said he had a "hunch" that The Polling experts - - "May just have got it wrong".

"We have travelled all round the country and the enthusiasm of our party's supporters working Together to get Out There with our message is incredible - and I think that message is getting through," he said.

"I think the support is growing and there is a greater understanding that we cannot go on with underfunded public services and a government that has not been straightforward With Us on Brexit or the trade talks with the USA. "

Asked about candidates who have expressed concerns about negative feedback on the doorsteps - including a leaked recording of shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth casting doubts on Labour's chances in the Poll - Mr Corbyn said: "You Show Me a candidate at any election that isn't worried from any party.

"Being a candidate means you get worried. But I tell you what, we are going to win this thing. "

If there is a Labour government on Friday morning, Mr Corbyn said The First thing he would do was "deal with the worst levels of poverty in Britain" - Namely the homeless - Saying : "Something must be done very quickly, very urgently and that is what we are going to do. "
