Sky News has been tracking locations visited by party leaders in the general election campaign to decipher what their choices tell us about the parties' election strategies.
This week the party leaders made their final pleas to voters. The Labour and Lib Dem leaders visited some of their most ambitious targets so far, while the prime minister took a scattergun approach, fighting for votes in even some of the safest of Tory seats. Watch their journeys this week in our animated map below. This campaign is being fought on new electoral boundaries, with many constituencies undergoing significant changes since 2019.
Rishi Sunak has been to see small crowds at many business locations, and the micro-management of his audiences was revealed early in the campaign when at one event it transpired that supposed members of the public were Conservative councillors. Sir Keir Starmer has played on his football links, visiting two stadiums including Northampton Town this week, but has likewise mostly stuck to closely managed events.
