Theresa May has said the only way Jeremy Corbyn will get the keys to Number 10 is by doing a deal with the SNP and Liberal Democrats who “don’t want Brexit to succeed”.
The prime minister also launched a fierce attack on the Labour leader’s fitness to lead yesterday.
She insisted while she was “ready to go”, he was “not prepared” to govern or for the negotiations with the EU.
His position would leave him “alone and naked in the negotiating chamber”, Mrs May added.
Her campaign trail speech came as another poll suggested Labour is closing in on the Tories’ previously healthy lead and amid criticism of her performance during Monday night’s TV grilling.
The Tory leader said Mr Corbyn’s outing had shown he was “not prepared to lead”.
She added: “He’s not prepared to use the nuclear deterrent. He’s not prepared to take action against terrorists.
“He’s not prepared to give the police the powers they need to keep us safe. He’s not prepared to take a single difficult decision for the good of our economy.
“He’s not prepared to answer questions about his long track record of supporting people who want to harm – and even attack – our country.
“And – with the Brexit negotiations due to begin only 11 days after polling day – he is not prepared for those negotiations.
“With his position on Brexit, he will find himself alone and naked in the negotiating chamber with the EU.”
In contrast she claimed: “I am prepared. I’m ready to go.”
Mrs May also promised to lead a government “at the service of ordinary working people”.
But she added: “All of this depends on one thing – getting Brexit right.
“That is what is truly at the heart of this election campaign. That is the one, fundamental, defining issue.”
Mrs May said while she was “clear about the instruction” from the British people, Mr Corbyn hadn’t the belief, will, plan or strength to deliver Brexit.
She added: “The only way he can get into Number 10 is by doing a deal with the Scottish nationalists and the Liberal Democrats who do not believe in Brexit and do not want it to succeed.”
SNP deputy leader Angus Robertson branded the speech “the latest desperate outburst from a weak and wobbly prime minister”.
He added: “We cannot afford to have an unchecked Tory government playing Russian roulette with our vital relationship with Europe.”
