In each of the past four general elections, the Conservatives have received a higher share of votes cast by people over 65 than they have from any other age group.
The news comes after David Cameron called on voters to give Theresa May a resounding majority so she can "stand up to people who want an extreme Brexit".
The prime minister, he suggested, wanted to turn the election into a "one-issue" campaign on Brexit and marginalise important subjects such as the future of the NHS, education and levels of inequality.
Jeremy Corbyn is "simply not up to the job" of being prime minister and a Labour government would result in economic chaos, Theresa May has said.
His shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith, who has clashed with him over the policy on the Trident nuclear deterrent, was notably absent from his speech at the Chatham House think tank. "We need to create a dialogue", the Labour leader said, as dictator Kim Jong-un clashes with Trump. So no more hand-holding with Donald Trump.
Mr Corbyn is expected to reject criticism over his position on defence and the use of nuclear weapons by insisting: "I am not a pacifist".
During a visit to the North East today (Friday) as part of the General Election campaign, she said the economy was showing improvement in the region. "I accept that military action, under global law, as a genuine last resort, is in some circumstances necessary".
Chinese President Xi congratulates President Moon, discusses Pyongyang
The call with Xi was Moon's second telephone conversation as president with a key global leader, following one Wednesday with U.S. Ties between South Korea and China, who are important trade partners, have been strained by Seoul's decision to host a U.S.
Corbyn insisted that wars that sought regime change in Afghanistan Iraq, Libya, and Syria - and Western interventions in Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen - "have failed in their own terms, and made the world a more risky place". However, he also says the "bomb first, talk later" tactics of the "war on terror" have failed and Britain's national interest is best served by pursuing peaceful solutions to conflicts around the world.
Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry warned that a Tory victory would lead to the United Kingdom becoming embroiled in the Syrian civil war in a sign of Mrs May's "devotion" to Mr Trump.
He sought to ease concerns he was soft on defence by adding: "I am not a pacifist".
However, responding to the speech, Mr Farron said Mr Corbyn "has shown beyond all doubt that he would put Britain's security at risk". "But that is very far from the kind of unilateral wars and interventions that have nearly become routine in recent times".
But while Labour's slogan of building a Britain "for the many, not the few" emerged at around the same time as the Conservative's "strong and stable leadership", it has not had the same kind of heavy promotion on social media.
Though never brought into being under Tony Blair, Cook's idea was for a foreign policy based on human rights, the rule of law, and trade.
