Conservative James Cleverly has warned that a Labour government would seek to “distort” the UK political system. The home secretary was speaking as the general election campaign entered its final week, with the Tories seeking to warn against a Labour “super majority”, as Sir Keir Starmer’s party continues to dominate the opinion polls.
Labour has promised to phase out the remaining hereditary peers – Lords who inherit a seat in Parliament – in its manifesto, as well as giving 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote.
Meanwhile, Labour has unveiled a new message as the 4 July poll nears, urging voters to avoid “waking up on July 5 to five more years” of Conservative government.
