  2. How's the Labour team feeling?published at 17:38 British Summer Time 7 June 2017

    Iain Watson

    BBC political correspondent Iain Watson says the mood is "confident here" as Jeremy Corbyn campaigns in Watford, putting out the message that Labour is "on the attack and not just defending vulnerable seats".

    Mr Corbyn "can certainly drum up the support" of enthusiastic fans, says Iain, and three-way marginals such as this one "are the kind of seats they need to win".

    He notes Labour insiders have told him "far more resources are going into defending Labour-held seats" and "off the record, the expectation is for net losses".

  5. What's the mood on the Conservative battle bus?published at 17:27 British Summer Time 7 June 2017

    BBC News Channel

    Ben Wright

    BBC political correspondent Ben Wright says Theresa May has been in Southampton and the West Midlands today, which gives "a clue to the sort of seats they're hoping to get if the election goes their way".

    She is running "a very different campaign to Jeremy Corbyn - she doesn't have great big rallies, it's small-scale and more controlled", according to Ben.

    "We've heard those repeated messages about 'strong and stable' and trying to make Brexit the focus, and the last few days have seen her grilled especially on counter-terrorism.

    "The messaging hasn't entirely gone her way but there's a confident mood aboard the battle bus."

  6. Analysis of the leaders, their campaigns and the partiespublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 7 June 2017

    Radio 4 PM

    BBC assistant editor Norman Smith says on the last day of the election the gulf between the two main parties is greater than it was a generation ago.

    Looking at the style of the different leaders, Norman says Jeremy Corbyn's campaign "has surprised many of us", in that he has gone from being "stilted, tetchy and difficult" - to appearing quite outgoing and at ease.

    In contrast, Norman says Theresa May "has shrunk, sounded and seemed on the defensive", and has seen her status removed from Conservative billboards.

    "You sense voters have not warmed to her," said Norman, adding that Tory Team May has been "far too closeted and had a bunker mentality" with the campaign being damaged by the "social care foul-up".

    However, despite the Labour rallies, Labour members claim Jeremy Corbyn "remains toxic on the doorstep".

    He said the Lib Dems "are very downcast at the thought that their prospects are not great and the Remain revolt hasn't kicked in".

    She adds that to elect Conservative MPs is to elect "rubber stamps" who will simply "obey" Mrs May.

    The World at One
    BBC Radio 4

    Lib Dem peer Baroness Grender has said that "in terms of the national opinion polls" we are returning to two-party politics.

    The former head of communications for the Liberal Democrats told the World at One "the centre is being squeezed to oblivion".

    She agreed that it seemed the national perception is that "the choices are starkly left and starkly right" but believed that in the battlegrounds "the Lib Dems are an option in that scenario".
