The Defence Secretary warned it would be 'very bad news' for the UK if Sir Keir Starmer entered No10 on 5 July with 'unchecked' power.
Grant Shapps today conceded the Tories could be heading for a huge defeat at the general election as he urged voters not to hand Labour a 'supermajority'.
The Cabinet minister's warning appeared to suggest a shift in Tory strategy ahead of this year's contest on 4 July, as Labour continue to enjoy a sizeable poll lead. The ad points to a scenario in which Labour could enjoy their largest-ever majority with 490 seats in the House of Commons from a 43 per cent vote share.
A new social media advert being pushed by the Conservatives has warned that Sir Keir Starmer is seeking a 'blank cheque' from voters He said: 'In this case, of course, the concern would be that if Keir Starmer were to go into No 10 – it will either be Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer, there's no other outcomes to this election – and that power was in some way unchecked, it would be very bad news for people in this country.
