Today Chancellor Mr Gordon Brown is expected to tell the GMB general union conference:"Only one party can lead a government that will put schools and hospitals first."

He was saying: "A Labour second term can put schools and hospitals first, can invest for success, because we are cutting the bills of failure, cutting the costs of unemployment and debt interest."

"Only one party in this election has an unbreakable commitment to stability. The choice is stability and investment or those parties that threaten a return to boom and bust."

A clutch of polls in today's newspapers predicted a second massive win for Labour in nextThursday's election.

An ICM survey in the News of the Worldpointed to a 197 majority, a Sunday Times-NOP poll would produce a 217 seat majority, an Observer-ICM poll suggested a 170 seat majority, and a Sunday Telegraph-Mori poll would give a massive 253 seat margin.
