Your support makes all the difference.Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May are to face off at PMQs for the last time before the general election.
The latest political stories are:
• Labour beating Tories with under-40s
• May accused of lying over NHS funding
• EU toughens Brexit stance
• May's LGBT rights record questioned
• Farron says gay sex is not a sin
The final PMQs before polling day comes on the same day as Labour announces its NHS policy of ending the Tories' pay freeze on NHS staff.
Mr Corbyn might be expected to use his PMQs questions to bolster his party's campaign pledges.
The NHS row comes a day after Ms May said the Government had to stop 'ducking' the issue of the looming social care crisis. She hinted that the Conservative manifesto would contain a 'long term' solution to the issue.
Mr Corbyn has used his platform at PMQs to raise the issue of social care cuts before.
Jeremy Corbyn asks whether a constituent is right to be "frightened" by Tory cuts to the NHS.
Theresa May essentially denies there is a problem and says the Government has put more money and doctors into the NHS
Theresa May quotes a website that described Jeremy Corbyn as a "terrorist sympathiser", she says "even his own supporters know he's not fit to run this country".
Jeremy Corbyn replied, angrily: "My question was about the National Health Service .. the NHS has not got the money it needs and she knows that."
Jeremy Corbyn says the PM only looks after the richest "not the rest".
They are strong against the weak, and weak against the strong. Far from building a strong economy schools and the NHS have been cut. People can't afford homes and millions can't make ends meet. That doesn't make a strong economy.
Corbyn adds that the election will be "a choice between a Conservative government for the few and a Labour government that will stand up for all of our people".
Theresa May says that in six weeks "we will be back at this dispatch box".
Every vote for him is a vote for chaotic Brexit, every vote for me is a vote to strengthen our hand in getting the best deal for Britain. Every vote for him is a vote to weaken our economy. Every vote for me is a vote for a strong economy ... every vote for him is a vote for a coalition of chaos. A weak leader propped up by the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish nationalists.
That's Corbyn's last question – now backbenchers and other parties are up.
