EXCLUSIVE:

Eight Cabinet ministers, chaired by Boris Johnson, met on Monday to discuss Tory manifesto:

* Tories planning big hike in police numbers, well beyond 20k pledge

* Internal polling shows they are ‘streets ahead’ of Labour on law and order

Ministers increasingly confident they are ‘neutralising’ Labour on NHS and education

Internal polling shows Tories have taken narrow lead over Labour on the NHS - follows pledges on hospital building and funding

Boris Johnson visiting hospitals every week to hammer home message
BUT there are concerns in Cabinet about scale of Tory pledges on public spending and tax cuts

‘There was an acknowledgment that there needs to be trade-off between higher levels of public spending and lower taxation

‘We can’t have both. There has to be a balance’
