We also heard from Labour's shadow health secretary Wes Streeting this morning, who spoke to BBC Breakfast a short time ago.

He was asked how people will be "better off" after five years if Labour wins, as Keir Starmer suggested.

Streeting said people won't be "languishing" on NHS waitlists, streets will be "safer" with more police, children won't turn up to school with "hungry bellies" and people will have new jobs under the green transition.

How do you measure people will feel better off? Streeting's asked.

He cited the NHS as an example, as under the last Labour government, he said it had the "shortest waiting times and the highest patient satisfaction in the history of the NHS".

He listed the range of measures that Labour wants to introduce, such as 40,000 more NHS appointments per week and that people won't wait longer than 18 weeks for treatment.

Sunak is now asked about the cost of living, and if he knows how much a loaf of bread costs.

Happily for the PM, he is being interviewed in a supermarket, and was earlier stacking bread with workers.

With a brief smile, he says it's £1.35 for "the best-selling tiger bloomer".

The BBC's Ben Thompson then presses the PM, asking how much that has gone up over the last five years.

"I don't have that figure to hand," Sunak says, saying "we've had a very difficult time with inflation".

It's put to him the price of a loaf of bread has gone up by 28% in that time, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Sunak says inflation has fallen from 11% to 2% since he became prime minister - and with that exchange, the interview ends.

Sunak is now asked about his best moment as prime minister.

Rather than giving a specific answer, he says one of the most inspiring things is meeting people who have themselves suffered a tragedy, and then go on to campaign for others.

Sunak says he wants to keep doing this job because he wants to keep working "day and night" for people, repeating his core messages about cutting taxes, stopping the boats and protecting pensions.

Pressed on whether this constitutes a best moment, he insists it does.

Moving on to what his worst moment was, Sunak says it is a difficult job, again acknlowedging the diffculty in getting NHS waiting lists down.

It is put to Sunak again that despite his campaigning, the polls have not changed - if anything, the Conservatives' support seems to have dipped.

Asked if people don't believe in his plan, Sunak says that's not the experience when he talks to people.

His job is to focus on the policies, he adds, not about "commentary" of the campaigns.

Quizzed on his five priorities, Sunak says he has more than halved inflation, and oversaw economic growth in the first quarter - although acknowledges there hasn't been as much progress on NHS waiting lists as he would have like.

He adds the very fact he has laid out clear priorities makes him different from Keir Starmer.

It's put to Sunak that polling expert Sir John Curtice says there is more chance of lightning striking twice in the same place - and a bit more - than there is of Sunak remaining as PM.

"That's his view, that's not going to stop me from working as hard as I can over these final few days," Sunak says.

He notes that he was up at 04:00 BST, adding "I'll be out until the last moment of this campaign".

Put to him that the polls have not significantly changed during the campaign, Sunak reiterates that it has been a difficult few years, but says that "undeniably things are in a better place now than they were".

Sunak is next asked if large electoral victories are dangerous - with Sally Nugent asking if previous Conservative landslides were dangerous.

The PM sidesteps the specifics, but says elections are about who governs us.

He appreciates frustration with himself and the Tories, but says a Labour win would have a significant impact on financial security.

Sunak repeats that he would cut taxes, bring down migration and protect people's pensions, suggesting Labour would do the opposite of all three things.

Pressed on why he thinks people are frustrated with him, he says it's been a very difficult few years for the country", citing the war in Ukraine and the pandemic as reasons "we haven't made as much progress".

Sunak is first asked why, in the last few days of the campaign, he has shifted to warning about Labour - rather than talking about Tory policies.

Sunak denies it's the language of defeat - he repeats a warning made by his party around a so-called "supermajority" for Labour which would see them "unaccountable", he says.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is now on BBC Breakfast.

We'll bring you his key lines here, but you can also follow along yourself by clicking Watch live above.

As we wait for Rishi Sunak, the Electoral Commission has warned the UK’s postal voting system is facing “pressures” ahead of Thursday’s election, after reported delays to some ballot deliveries in Scotland and parts of southern England.

Several Scottish councils were forced to run weekend emergency help centres for voters whose postal voting packs had not arrived, while parts of London, Essex and Devon have also faced reported delays to deliveries.

The Electoral Commission, the UK’s elections watchdog, says tens of thousands of postal votes were delivered over the weekend - but says there are “pressures on the postal voting system due to the holiday season”.

It adds: “We are continuing to provide advice and guidance to electoral services teams to support them with the postal voting process.”

Good morning from Oxfordshire, where Rishi Sunak is spending the day campaigning - including an interview with BBC Breakfast in the next few minutes.

He was at a super early visit this morning - but his first daytime visit is in Witney. Sound familiar? It’s where David Cameron was the MP when he was prime minister.

It’s symbolic of what we’re seeing from the Tories in the final days of the campaign; a lot of time being spent in traditionally safe seats. Witney normally has a very comfortable Conservative majority, but is facing a challenge from the Lib Dems.

Sunak is arguing today it is still possible the result on Friday might not be a Labour majority. He has concluded a number of seats will be close - and 130,000 votes could determine who wins 100 constituencies.

It’s a message designed for people who have voted Tory in the past, but might not this time. Many Conservative candidates are worried about some of their voting base turning to Reform - or not voting at all.

A full list of candidates for Witney can be seen on the BBC website here.

Former Lib Dem leader Tim Farron says Sir Ed Davey's campaign stunts have "injected some fun" into what has otherwise been a "miserable" campaign.

Party leader Davey has taken part in a variety of stunts during the election campaign including a bungee jump and falling into Lake Windermere while paddleboarding.

Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, Farron defends the strategy, arguing that as well as having fun Davey had won the right to talk about serious issues, such as water quality and sewage dumping.

Asked about his party's record during the coalition years, Farron admits there were “plenty of things we’ve got wrong”, but that Britain is in “desperate need of change”.

Postal affairs minister Kevin Hollinrake is "urgently" looking at reported delays in postal ballots reaching voters, a ministerial colleague says.

"Kevin is taking this very seriously," health minister Maria Caulfield tells Sky News.

"He's in direct contact with the Royal Mail. It doesn't seem to be an issue in my constituency, but I know a number of colleagues where people haven't received their postal votes and are worried about that.

"Kevin is investigating this urgently. I know there's extra resources going into this to try and do a sweep of all the sorting offices and make sure they're out there.

"If people have only just received their postal vote, they can take it to their polling station on election day and it will still be counted."

As we reported earlier, Royal Mail has said it has "no backlog" of postal votes - more on that here.

Asked about allegations of other offensive remarks by Reform candidates, Tice says his party is "growing fast" but like any party, it makes mistakes, adding that they admit them, learn from them and change.

He says Reform is "telling it as it is" and has "common sense policies".

Tice is asked if it was a mistake for Nigel Farage to suggest the West provoked the war in Ukraine, to which he says it is a mistake to say "we've got everything right".

There's a back and forth as Nick Robinson puts the question to him several times, and Tice says the war was "created by Putin".

He's challenged that he won't repeat Farage's words, and Tice says he's focused on learning from the mistakes of the past.

Tice is now asked about last week's Channel 4 footage, filmed undercover, which shows Reform volunteer George Jones making homophobic comments and describing the Pride flag as degenerate.

It's put to Tice that Jones is known to Farage and was perhaps hired by Farage and Tice.

Tice responds by saying that Jones is not representative of Reform, saying he was an unpaid volunteer.

Tice then brings up the Channel 4 footage again and repeats claims that the other person in the footage, Andrew Parker, was an actor and that it was a "complete stitch-up".

In the footage, Parker makes racist and Islamophobic comments. Channel 4 have denied paying anyone in the footage and stand by their journalism.

Tice begins by saying support on the doors for Reform UK is "absolutely rock solid", as Nick Robinson asks the first question.

Tice is then asked if he wants to do to the right in Britain what Marine Le Pen has done in France.

"You cannot reward failure and the Tories have broken Britain," he says - adding he believes Labour is going to win but a "complete realignment of the right of politics" is needed.

Pressed if Reform UK is the party for people who "hate" modern Britain, Tice says the language of "family, community, country is common sense, it is traditional English words".

We're now hearing from Reform UK chairman Richard Tice who's on Radio 4's Today programme.

Flynn is asked about his party's aspiration for another independence vote - with both the Conservatives and Labour saying they won't consider it. Would the SNP's energy be better spent on other issues? he's asked.

He says Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said he "won't even entertain" the thought of further independence talks, saying that's "not how democracy works".

He adds "it's not good enough for Labour to tell Scottish voters their views don't matter", saying it's "so important" to have SNP representation in Westminster.

That brings Flynn's interview to a close - stay with us as we have Reform UK's Richard Tice up next on the Today programme.

Flynn is now asked about issues in Scotland with many not receiving their postal votes in time.

"I'm massively concerned," Flynn says, with many voters telling him they've not received their ballot papers.

He hits out at the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's choice of the election date as many in Scotland are on school holidays and now feel "disenfranchised" from this election.

The system is not fit for purpose, he continues, and we need to see "huge reform".

It's put to Flynn that the Royal Mail says there's no backlog, so what's the problem with the system?

I'd argue with that, Flynn says, because if there's no backlog, where are the postal votes for my constituents?

Flynn says "vast swathes" of Scotland are "very much up for grabs" at the election.

He reiterates the Institute for Fiscal Studies' line that there is a "conspiracy of silence" from Labour and the Conservatives on the scale of cuts (or tax rises) likely coming down the track.

"We need to reject that austerity," he says - adding there also needs to be increased migration, investment in net zero, a return to the single market, and a ceasefire in Gaza.
