2019 General Election: Boris Johnson quizzed on Russian interference

The Conservatives remain odds-on at 4-7 to gain an overall majority in the general election on December 12.

But Prime Minister Boris Johnson came under pressure in a BBC interview on Friday when asked about Russian donations to the Conservative party.

Johnson insisted there was no evidence of Russian interference in UK politics but did not confirm or deny whether Russian oligarchs have made substantial donations to Conservative coffers.

Labour got on the front foot by pledging free full-fibre broadband to every home and business by 2030 if they triumph in the general election.

But Jeremy Corbyn's party are trailing in the polls and are 11-1 to win the most seats and 25-1 to earn an overall majority for the first time since 2005.

Labour may not have to win outright for their leader to replace Johnson in Downing Street.

The odds of a hung parliament are no bigger than 7-4 and Corbyn is 5-2 to be the next Prime Minister.
