Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has said there are “so many” undecided voters ahead of polling day on July 4.

She told GB News: “I think all of us are out every day knocking on doors, all of us are saying the same thing – I was talking to a colleague yesterday – there are so many voters who are undecided and, of course, what’s happening in the polls is everyone is trying to anticipate what they’ll do, there’s all kinds of algorithms trying to anticipate that, but what we’re doing is going out on the doorstep.

“What is clear is many of these voters have not decided to go for another party. Some have, but not many have, and that’s what we’re finding on the doorstep, so this last week is crucially important, you should never take the voters for granted, none of us ever do.”

Asked about whether Reform UK has rattled the Tories given its showing in the polls, Ms Keegan said: “What actually shows up a lot about the Reform Party is some of their disgraceful comments – either their racist comments or their comments about women, his (Reform UK leader Nigel Farage) comments about (Russian president Vladimir) Putin have cut through, a few people do mention that.”
