(Bloomberg) — Boris Johnson will try to shift the election focus away from a row about funding for the National Health Service triggered by a photo of a child suspected of suffering from pneumonia sleeping on the floor of a hospital.The furor plays into the Labour Party’s hands in the final two days of campaigning, boosting its core message that the Conservatives don’t care about the NHS and that a decade of spending constraints have left it in crisis.Despite leading in all opinion polls, Tory nerves will not be helped by a new survey showing Labour support inching up toward the point where a hung Parliament becomes a possibility.Coming Up:Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn campaigns in Carlisle, northern EnglandJohnson is in Staffordshire this afternoon before holding a rally in northwest England at about 8 p.m.YouGov releases update of their MRP poll for The Times at 10 p.m.ICM poll conducted for Reuters shows: Conservatives 42%; Labour 36%; Liberal Democrats 12%The Conservatives retain an 80% chance of an overall majority, according to BetfairLabour’s Ashworth Taped Criticizing Corbyn (11:30 a.m.)Labour’s health spokesman Jon Ashworth has been recorded saying the party’s electoral chances are hopeless and that voters hate leader Jeremy Corbyn. Asked on the recording about whether Corbyn would be a security risk as prime minister, Ashworth said: “The machine will pretty quickly move to safeguard security,” but added that a Labour government is “not going to happen!”Asked by the BBC about the recording, which was first published on the Guido Fawkes website, Ashworth said he had been “joking around” with an old friend, Greig Baker, who he described as a Tory activist. Baker, who runs a political consultancy, didn’t immediately respond to an email requesting comment. He has deleted his Twitter account.Economy Stagnates Ahead of Election (11 a.m.)The U.K. economy unexpectedly stagnated in October, the Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday, marking three straight months without growth for the first time since 2009.Read more: U.K. Economy Fails to Grow Ahead of Brexit-Dominated ElectionGross domestic product was unchanged following two consecutive months of decline, according to the ONS. Economists had forecast a 0.1% expansion. GDP rose just 0.7% from a year earlier, the smallest increase since June 2012.The figures, which provide the last economic snapshot before voters go to the polls on Thursday, highlight the toll being taken by years of Brexit uncertainty and a worsening global backdrop.Row Over Child on Hospital Floor Rumbles On (10 a.m.)The row over 4-year-old Jack Williment-Barr, who was photographed receiving treatment on the floor of Leeds General Infirmary, dominated the political broadcast round on Tuesday.“It’s an example of what’s happening in our NHS,” Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn told the BBC, when asked about the boy’s situation becoming politicized. “It is a serious issue. It is a political issue, how we fund the NHS.”Johnson triggered a backlash on Monday when he refused to look at the photo in a broadcast interview. Later, he appeared to divert attention by musing publicly about changing how the BBC is funded, before Tory officials wrongly briefed reporters that a party aide had been hit by a Labour supporter.Questioned about Johnson’s tactics, Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said the Tory leader had been dealing “with a very fluid situation.” The election should be “fought on the high ground and the big issues,” Buckland told BBC Radio. Johnson “did express sorrow and regret for what he saw.”Farage Slams Johnson’s Brexit Deal (Earlier)Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said Boris Johnson’s divorce deal with the European Union would give the U.K. “indigestion for years.”“If we pass the current EU treaty, this doesn’t get Brexit done, it takes us into years of negotiation,” Farage told BBC Radio on Tuesday. “Unless we get a Brexit Party voice in the House of Commons, we are not going to get a realistic Brexit because he’ll push through this new EU treaty as it is.”Farage said his party “might get some” seats in Parliament, adding that gaining a “handful” would make a “massive” difference. The party’s support has slumped in the polls since Farage withdrew candidates from Tory-held seats. “We are going to get Brexit,” Farage said. “The questions is: Is it recognizable to the 17.4 million voters?”How Newspapers Covered Political Spat Over NHS (Earlier)Right-leaning newspapers including the Times, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail and the Daily Express all left the story of Boris Johnson refusing to look at the picture of a 4-year-old boy sleeping on a hospital floor off their front pages, in favor of the prime minister’s threat on Monday to scrap the license system that funds the BBC.In contrast, the left-leaning Guardian’s top story focused on how the Conservatives dispatched Health Secretary Matt Hancock to the hospital in Leeds, northern England, but then made matters worse by briefing journalists that a Labour supporter had assaulted Hancock’s aide, before video of the incident showed this to be untrue.And the Daily Mirror ran on its front page a story about a different child waiting for treatment under the headline: “Here’s another picture you won’t want to see, Mr Johnson.”Earlier:Johnson Has a Bad Day as Health Moves to Center of U.K. ElectionBoris Johnson Is Hiding the Price of Brexit: Therese RaphaelU.K. Vote Is One Pit Stop in Long Brexit Road for Pound, Gilts–With assistance from Andrew Atkinson and Brian Swint.To contact the reporters on this story: Kitty Donaldson in London at kdonaldson1@bloomberg.net;Robert Hutton in London at rhutton1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Tim Ross at tross54@bloomberg.net, Stuart Biggs, Mark WilliamsFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
