Leaders of the Conservative and Labour parties launched their mobile election campaigns Saturday as they stepped up efforts to win over voters ahead of the UK general elections next month.

Labour’s bright red bus, emblazoned with “Change,” set off from Uxbridge, west London, a seat formerly held by ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, while the Tories’ blue bus carried its campaign motto, “Clear Plan, Bold Action, Secure Future,” as it began its journey from Redcar in Yorkshire.
