With just two days of campaigning left, Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson are frantically criss-crossing the country trying to squeeze out every last drop of potential support in the key seats they need to win.

The Guardian’s political editor, Heather Stewart, has been following the progress of Jeremy Corbyn as he makes a final push for Downing Street, and Rowena Mason, deputy political editor, has been on board Boris Johnson’s battlebus. They tell Anushka Asthana that while Boris Johnson appears the more optimistic, the contest hangs in the balance.
