Waving a hard copy about, the Labour leader said it a "serious and realistic document" that addressed the issues that many people faced.

Mr Johnson told the Press Association: "I thought it was really spine-chilling to hear Jeremy Corbyn announce that all Labour's support for our nuclear deterrent, all Labour's support for our Armed Forces was completely meaningless because when it came to the business of defending this country he wouldn't do it". "I also said the sky will not fall in if we leave the EU", May told the audience.

Some tough questions for the Labour leader.

Mr Corbyn said: "I have not supported any of those organisations".

Prime Minister Theresa May pledged to prioritize overhauling Britain's technical education system if she wins Thursday's election as a way to give students alternative career paths to a university education.

However, she has been accused of seeking to take advantage of her party's 20-point poll lead over the main opposition Labour Party.

University of Queensland political science lecturer Joff Lelliott told The New Daily the Conservatives will "still nearly certainly win the election", but it was unlikely they would now win with the huge majority of 100-150 seats that many initially predicted.

Audience member Jack Rouse was loudly applauded as he asked Mr Corbyn the question during BBC's Question Time.

"If the prime minister has a very big majority she will be able to do what she likes, the bigger the majority, the bigger the reshuffle", an unnamed minister was quoted by the Telegraph as saying.

She said: "It would have been the easiest thing in the world for me having become the Prime MInister after the referendum when David Cameron resigned to say the next election is not until 2020".

"I could have stayed on doing that job for another couple of years and not called an election".

"I had the balls to call an election".

A failure to win the June 8 election with a large majority would weaken May just as Brexit talks are due to begin while the loss of her majority would pitch British politics into turmoil. "But this is an important moment for our country, we've got to get it right", she said.

"Do you want to comment on that?" I think it is a serious and realistic document that addresses the issues that many people in this country face and we've been fearless enough to put it out there with all the policies that are in it'. I'm thinking that last time Labour was in government they left a note at the Chancellor's office saying "We've no money left"'.

The Prime Minister promised further investment and a new Mental Health Act to end workplace discrimination.

In another key exchange, Mrs May said she didn't know whether North Korea receives funding from the UK's foreign aid budget.

"The Labour Party will be suspending national campaigning until this evening, after consultations with other parties, as a mark of respect for those who have died and suffered injury", he said.

A young woman asked why the former London mayor had not been suspended over his rant in a radio interview 14 months ago, to which Mr Corbyn said investigations "may continue".
