The time for debate is over… The Express says: Vote Tory or hand Labour unchecked power
The clamour of debate and dispute is over. The hour of decision has arrived. As the politicians finally leave the stage after six weeks of campaigning, it is now up to the British people to choose who governs our great country and perhaps more importantly who provides the effective opposition.

If the opinion polls are remotely accurate, then history could be made on an epic scale today, with Labour achieving by far the greatest landslide since Britain became a democracy.
The only real fight yet to be won now is the battle to ensure there is an effective opposition to properly hold Sir Keir Starmer to account.
