With just four days to go before Britain goes to the polls, Mr Brown met the deputy leader in Kirkcaldy, the town in Fife where he grew up.

In an exclusive interview with this paper, Labour's last PM promised: "The best is yet to be." And he urged voters not to pass up the chance to elect a "life-changing government" this Thursday.

Mr Brown said: "We have got to persuade people who maybe are reading the Sunday Mirror today and thinking, well, is it worth voting? And we've got to persuade them." "This is a life-changing election. And to vote is really important. We've had Labour governments that have changed things - but this could be the

Labour government that makes a huge difference to the rest of the century with the changes it's about to make.

"I'm so confident that if we have a Labour government and it's obviously 'if' as nobody's complacent - it can make even better changes than we were able to make 20 years ago." Sitting alongside him in St Bryce Kirk where Mr Brown's late father was the minister Ms Rayner said: "People often say to me, 'Well, Angie, Gordon Brown's government was criticised for this', or "Tony Blair's government was criticised for that. But these governments changed my life.

"If you want change, if you want to see a Labour government that can change your life like the last one did for me, you have to vote for it." Mr Brown, who has campaigned vigorously to end child poverty in the years since leaving government, hailed Labour's manifesto as a solid foundation to build on.
