First we're hearing from this morning's panel. Harman accuses the Tories of running a negative campaign and relying on attack ads.

She says Labour has been reassuring people over recent weeks.

Fearnley-Whittingstall says the Tories have been trying to "get a rise out of a soufflé" and says Labour hasn't set out its full plans.

He tells the programme he's been campaigning with the Green Party.

Lewis says the campaign has been challenging after 14 years in power, and that the public still has a "gap in its understanding" about Labour's plans.

Sir Keir Starmer is also in the Observer this morning.

Writing in the paper, he pledges to "relight the fire" of optimism and hope among the British people and to restore their faith in UK politics if his party wins.

Addressing critics who say Labour has not been bold enough in this election campaign, he writes: "I am sure some people would prefer a less sober message. But the Tories have kicked the hope out of people so thoroughly, to expect a chorus of optimism would be like scattering seeds on stony ground.

"I believe in hope, and believe we can inspire it again. Showing that it is a privilege to serve is a precondition for it."

He writes that if people choose his party, he would embark on a "national mission" to create wealth in every community, but goes on to say that Labour would not be able to deliver results immediately.

The Sunday Times has endorsed the Labour Party in the general election, saying the Conservatives have "forfeited the right to govern" and that now is the right time for Labour to be "entrusted with restoring competence to government".

The paper is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News UK and has endorsed the Conservative Party in every election since 2005. In 2001 it backed Tony Blair's Labour.

While newspaper circulations have declined, endorsements are still seen as important indicators of the breadth of a party's appeal.

In a joint interview with Sir Keir Starmer and Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves, external on its front page, they reveal some of the housing announce­ments we can expect early in a Labour government.

These include:

• A draft national planning policy framework, which would re-impose targets to ensure councils are meeting local housing needs
• A new housebuilding programme to be announced in the second week
• Writing to local authorities to tell them to start a process of “regularly reviewing” green belt boundaries to ensure they are hitting housing targets, and recruiting 300 new planning officers to help speed up development

We'll be hearing from him in just over an hour, but Rishi Sunak has also been in the papers issuing warnings about Labour.

Days out from the election on Thursday, the prime minister tells the Sunday Telegraph voters have four days "to save the country".

Sunak urged undecided voters to back his party, claiming Labour would "bankrupt people in every generation" - including those buying a first home, starting a family or sending a child to a fee-paying school.

The leading fiscal think tank the IFS has said that all of the UK's main political parties have "ducked" mentioning the stark choices over the public finances in their manifestos and that it would be a "considerable surprise" if taxes were not increased over the next five years - no matter who is successful at the election.

In the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Sunak also claimed that a Labour government would cause "irreversible damage" in the first 100 days of government, citing Starmer's plans to overhaul planning laws and scrap the Conservatives' Rwanda deportation scheme.

There's quite a lot of variation between the polls but they all agree that Labour has a big lead over the Conservatives.

The polls have had quite a broad range of figures over the last few days, particularly for the Conservatives and Reform UK.

This is partly explained by how different polling companies deal with people who say they're undecided about how to vote - but there's certainly more variation than at the same stage of the last election campaign in 2019.

However, if you look at the poll averages, there's been very little change for any of the parties over the last 10 days or so.

Labour still has a lead of around 20 points over the Conservatives with Reform UK in third and the Liberal Democrats in fourth.

The UK's main parties have been busy announcing their campaign promises ahead of the general election.

Unsure who to vote for? The BBC’s Visual Journalism team has produced this guide, which offers a summary of where parties stand on issues most important to voters.

A manifesto is the list of pledges parties make to voters, explaining what they would do if elected.

This interactive has been put together by the BBC's Visual Journalism team, the BBC's political research unit in London and BBC journalists in Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow.

Its aim is to summarise where the parties stand on key topics to help voters make informed decisions at the ballot box.

Let’s take a quick look at the front pages of some of the newspapers this morning, which are dominated by the election.

The Observer carries a pledge from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to "relight the fire" of optimism among the British people if his party forms the next government.

Labour plans to "hit the ground running" and launch a housebuilding blitz within days of gaining power, Starmer and his shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves tell the Sunday Times.

But speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak claims Labour would "bankrupt people in every generation" through tax rises and make it harder for people to buy their first home or start a family.

And the Sunday Express leads with a warning by Rishi Sunak that Labour would "do irreversible damage within just 100 days of coming to power". He cites the party's plans to scrap the Rwanda asylum scheme and to charge VAT on private school fees.
