Seize the moment – to drive Labour over the line
The Tory campaign is a car crash whose flaming wreckage even the biased media cannot hide. Hammer home our core values and policies today and we will win, writes DAVID ROSENBERG

IN the final days of the dirtiest British election campaign I can remember, the moment that Labour has been looking for has arrived.

The Prime Minister, whose lies have flowed constantly, whose mass deceptions have been faithfully promoted rather than challenged by a supposedly independent mainstream media who have conspired to protect Johnson from scrutiny as much as possible, was finally exposed by one journalist not prepared to obediently toe the line.

Johnson’s completely amoral attitude on the NHS — the key issue that Labour has been pushing on most strongly through the campaign — was revealed to millions when he disgracefully pocketed the journalist’s phone after refusing to look at the image of a four-year-old boy from Leeds with suspected pneumonia forced to sleep on the floor of the local hospital due to a lack of beds.
