The final day of campaigning is under way in the UK general election, with one of Rishi Sunak's most loyal cabinet allies saying Labour is likely to win "the largest majority any party has ever achieved."
Voters will head to the polls tomorrow to cast their ballot.
Opinion polls indicate that the Labour Party is on course for a significant majority, with the Conservatives likely to suffer heavy losses.
YouGov's final seat projection published put Labour on track to win a majority of 212 seats, the largest of any party in modern history.
It was on this day six weeks ago when a rain soaked Rishi Sunak took many by surprise as he stood outside Downing Street and announced an early general election.
He hoped it would focus minds, and see his party returned for a fifth term.
But as this campaign draws to close, opinion polls indicate Labour is on course for a significant majority.
Today is the final day of campaigning and will see parties focus on their final messages.
Labour leader Keir Starmer, fearful of complacency, is set to urge people to get out and vote.
Mr Sunak is expected to warn of the risks associated with a so-called supermajority for Labour - insisting that a strong opposition is needed.
One of Mr Sunak's most loyal cabinet allies has said Labour is likely to win "the largest majority any party has every achieved".

Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said it is "highly unlikely" that polls suggesting a victory for Mr Starmer's party are wrong.
But he said people will "regret" it if Labour wins the kind of landslide that means it has "untrammelled" power without an effective Tory opposition.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I have accepted that where the polls are at the moment - and it seems highly unlikely that they are very, very wrong, because they've been consistently in the same place for some time - that we are therefore tomorrow highly likely to be in a situation where we have the largest majority that any party has ever achieved."
Sunak's troubled campaign: Things can only get worse
Separately, Boris Johnson was greeted with applause and cheers when he joined one of the final events of the Conservative's election campaign.
The former prime minister has been largely absent from the campaign, although supportive in his newspaper column, and has been writing letters of endorsement and backing a number of Tories in social media posts.
As he stepped onto the stage at the National Army Museum yesterday, Mr Johnson was greeted by applause and chants of "Boris, Boris, Boris".
He thanked attendees at the late evening event for "coming so late, way past Keir Starmer's bedtime" in a dig at the Labour leader's comment that he largely avoids working after 6pm on Fridays to spend time with his family.
Mr Johnson told the audience a Labour government would increase taxes and would not stand up to Vladimir Putin.
"They will scrap the Rwanda plan," he said before describing Labour MPs as "Kremlin crawlers".
Mr Johnson, who led the Tories to a landslide victory in 2019 against a Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn, told cheering crowds: "They can achieve nothing in this election except to usher in the most left-wing Labour government since the war with a huge majority, and we must not let it happen.
"Don't let the Putinistas deliver the Corbynistas. Don't let Putin's pet parrots give this entire country psittacosis - which is a disease you get by the way from cosying up to pet parrots."
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper described Mr Johnson's appearance as "a desperate new low" for Mr Sunak's campaign.
"This is an insult to everyone who made heart-breaking sacrifices during the pandemic," she said.
"Rishi Sunak has reached a desperate new low, turning to a man who discredited the office of prime minister and lied to the country time after time.
"It is time to boot out this tired and sleaze-ridden Conservative party, and elect Liberal Democrat MPs who will stand up for their communities."
