Corbyn or May? The papers have their say

This time tomorrow, the politicians will have finally fallen silent and the polls will be open. But who to vote for? Here’s what the papers say:

The Sun backs Theresa May and has a ‘simple message’ for those considering voting for Ukip or Labour: ‘don’t’. Given that the ‘Tories alone are committed to seeing Brexit through in full’, the Sun suggests a vote for the ‘Kippers would be redundant. And for those who believe Labour will ensure Brexit happens, the Sun says that it ‘does not believe’ it ‘for a second’. For those who have always voted Labour, the Sun says to remember that Corbyn’s party ‘is not the moderate Labour of Tony Blair’. Instead, ‘your vote would be to install Britain’s first Marxist government’. That ‘would be the gravest mistake this country has ever made,’ according to the Sun. Admittedly, ‘the Tories have not run a great campaign,’ says the Sun. ‘But they are pro-business, pro-jobs and pro-low taxes.’
