UK election 2019: Parties in final campaign push as poll nears

The main political party leaders are continuing to push their election pledges to voters, as the campaign enters its final few days.

Conservative leader Boris Johnson says in an open letter that Thursday's poll is "historic" and a choice to "move forwards" after Brexit.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it was a "chance to vote for hope" and he had "the most ambitious plan to transform our country in decades". The UK goes to the polls on Thursday.

Ahead of this, the candidates are travelling around the country in a bid to spread their election messages.

Among the manifesto pledges being highlighted by the main UK parties on Sunday are:

A Conservative promise to introduce an Australian-style points-based immigration system to control unskilled migration

A Labour plan to "head off the social care crisis" by offering free personal care for older people in England and an additional £10bn of funds by 2023-24

A "regional rebalancing" programme from the Lib Dems, which would see £50bn invested in infrastructure outside of London

Meanwhile, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon is warning that "the very future of Scotland" is at stake in the election.
