More than 100 people claiming to represent working people across Britain have signed a letter backing a Labour government in the coming general election.

The Labour party has released the open letter after over 100 business leaders in the country declared their support for a Conservative government in a similar letter, warning against a "change of course".

Labour said the signatories of the letter included people working on zero-hour contracts across public services, business, and the arts and entertainment industries.

The letter states that the 136 people who signed "come from all walks of life" and "care about Britain's economy".

A statement from Labour welcomed the letter, adding:
