In the run-up to the election, Rishi Sunak is doing everything he can to win back one per cent of the vote - 130,000 voters - and thus prevent Labor from achieving a 'super majority' in Parliament. That's what The Times writes.
It has long been clear that Labor will win the British election on Thursday, and the votes that went there consider the Tories lost. Now the Prime Minister turns to his disaffected voters who intended to vote for the right-wing populist Reform UK.
- You have the power to use your votes to stop an uncontrolled Labor government, he said at a campaign meeting on Tuesday, according to The Times.
If the Tories manage to win back votes in 75 constituencies where the numbers are even, Labor will not get its own majority in parliament and will have to form a minority government or seek a coalition.

Second defection from Reform UK - "the majority racists"
Georgie David is dropping her candidacy for the right-wing populist Reform UK ahead of Thursday's election, she writes in a statement quoted in British media. She thinks that "the vast majority" of the candidates are "racists, misogynists and prejudiced" and therefore switches to the Conservative Party.
"More desperate corruption from the Tories," writes Reform UK chairman Richard Tice on X, accusing the Conservative Party of bribing Georgie David with jobs and secure political posts, according to the BBC.
At the weekend, Liam Booth-Isherwood also defected from Reform UK to the Tories. He also cited racism among his colleagues as a reason, writes The Guardian.
In recent days, the party has been shaken by revelations about racist statements from several of the candidates, writes Sky News. Many disillusioned Tory voters have gone to Reform UK, which taps into the Conservative Party.
