Ramsay is first asked about the Green Party's big spending plans.

He says his party, which he co-leads with Carla Denyer, is taking a different approach to the other parties by raising taxes to invest in public services.

He cites issues in the NHS, housing, and the cost of living crisis as things which need addressing with extra investment.

He accuses the two main parties - the Conservatives and Labour - of carrying out a "conspiracy of silence" on the investment the country needs.

Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay is now in the studio and we're going to be listening across to his interview on BBC Breakfast, which you can watch live by pressing the Play button at the top of this page.

Stay tuned as we bring you the key lines from the interview.

In just a few minutes, we're going to be hearing from Adrian Ramsay, co-leader of the Green Party, who will be speaking to Jon and Sarah over on BBC Breakfast.

Helpfully, our colleagues at BBC Verify have been pouring over the detail of the key policies announced in the Green Party's manifesto - released last week.

One of the party's hallmark policies is £50bn extra spending on the health and social care sector, which the party says will be funded by increases to National Insurance rates and capital gains tax, and the introduction of carbon and wealth taxes.

BBC Verify's Ben Chu has given his take on the manifesto, which you can check out in this video here.

A Reform UK candidate has defended his description of Adolf Hitler as “brilliant”.

Jack Aaron, who is standing in Grant Shapps’s seat of Welwyn Hatfield, said that Hitler was as “brilliant as he was utter evil” and noted that his tactics were able to “inspire people to action”, as well as calling the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad “gentle”.

“Yes, Hitler was as brilliant as he was utter evil. How is that controversial to say, given that he was able to turn the Germans to such destructive acts, including killing many members of my own family?" Aaron said in an interview with The Times last night.

"I strongly believe, as a psychologist, in separating intelligence and talent from morality, so that we can adequately diagnose problems and help people," the Reform UK candidate added.

Nigel Farage, Reform UK’s leader, was asked by the BBC yesterday about Aaron’s comment. He said he would have to “get some context on that because there’s an awful lot of nonsense talked around this”.

When pressed about problems more generally with Reform candidates, Farage said: “the broader point about the candidates is there wasn’t long to get organised. We did commission a very well-known firm run by quite a prominent public figure, we paid them a large sum of money, and no work got done – I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow”.

As a reminder, earlier this week the party suspended another candidate, Grant StClair-Armstrong, for previously urging people to vote for the BNP - a far-right party, which peaked in the 2009 European elections in the UK with 6.2% of the vote.

A bit more from the Conservative campaign now, as there are reports that the party is turning to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson to help counter the challenge being posed by Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

According to the Daily Telegraph, external, Johnson has signed letters sent to tens of thousands of Tory voters warning that a vote for Reform would put Labour in power for "a generation".

A reminder, at the last general election in 2019, the Conservative Party under Johnson secured a sizeable majority - with 365 seats out of 650 in the Commons - and made gains in traditional Labour heartlands.

The polls at the moment have the Conservative Party some 20 points behind Labour, while Reform on average are in third place.

As Labour plans to stay on the economy beat this week, the Conservatives are pushing back against the party to make more tax commitments - specifically for farmers.

When the prime minister heads to south-west England alongside his environment secretary later today, the pair will likely continue their attacks on Labour's treatment of farmers, as the Tories have recently accused them of having a "secret plan" to abolish inheritance tax relief for the sector.

Conservatives claim Labour has not committed to keeping the exemption in its manifesto, with Environment Secretary Steve Barclay saying it has treated farmers with "contempt".

A Labour spokesperson told the BBC that "nothing in our plans requires any additional tax to be increased beyond the measures we set out in our manifesto".

As a reminder, the Tories have said in their manifesto that they will keep the inheritance tax relief, while Labour has not mentioned it in their version.

As usual, we have a flurry of guests this morning on some of the BBC's main outlets:

• Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay will be speaking to BBC Breakfast at 08:30 BST
• From 10:00, there will also be a special 90-minute edition of BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour Election Debate, with representatives from the Conservatives, Labour, SNP, Lib Dems, Reform UK, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party

Attention swiftly turns once again to the campaign trail where we'll be hearing from Lib Dem leader Ed Davey in south-east England, while PM Rishi Sunak will be in the south-west. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will be in the Home Counties.

It's then all eyes on Scotland, where as we've been reporting, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar will be launching his party's manifesto from 10:00. First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney will be campaigning on the west coast this morning.

Stay with us throughout the morning as we bring you the key lines.

Another day, another manifesto launch - this time from Scottish Labour.

Leader Anas Sarwar is expected to be speaking from 10:00 BST today to unveil his party's key pledges.

One such pledge already unveiled on the campaign trail yesterday is a plan to seek to "reset devolution" if the party wins the election on 4 July.

Sawar told BBC Scotland News that Labour had "momentum" and Scotland would be "at the heart" of a Labour administration.

The manifesto being published today is expected to focus on young voters, proposals to increase the living wage in Scotland, and a mortgage guarantee scheme for first-time buyers.

That's still to come, but rest assured as we'll be bringing you key lines from the document later this morning.

Let's give you a taste of some of today's newspaper headlines, many of which unsurprisingly focus on the latest from the general election campaign trail.

The Daily Telegraph says the Conservatives are turning "to [Boris] Johnson to counter Reform [UK]". It also features a former GCHQ boss who says he backs Labour's security plans. He says Labour's planned "triple lock" on the nuclear deterrent - which commits the party to build four submarines, deliver necessary future upgrades and maintain the continuous at-sea deterrent - shows that voters can trust Sir Keir Starmer with security.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is accused of offering a manifesto that "doesn't add up", the Guardian reports.

The i's front page is also about Farage, as a large image of the Reform UK leader accompanies a quote from him saying it is "impossible" to know if his party will stick to its low tax pledge.

An exclusive interview with Rishi Sunak makes the front page of the Daily Mail, in which the PM says his Labour opponent wants to rig the voting system to "entrench his power".

The Daily Express leads with banking giant HSBC saying the Labour Party's plan to boost wages would "trigger higher mortgage bills" and a "surge in unemployment", and quotes the PM saying "vote for Reform risks a generation under Labour".

Banking hubs are shared premises put in areas where the last branch has closed and where customers of any bank can withdraw or deposit cash.

Labour has repeated a pledge, first made in December, to open 350 hubs in the next five years if it wins power.

In truth, these hubs are seen by both the major parties as a potential solution for those who still want or need cash and local banking services, so we will see more of them.

Under the Conservative government, which brought in new legislation on cash access, 56 hubs are already open and there are plans in place for 76 more.

But some campaigners say the bigger question, for whichever party is in power, is whether enough will open to ensure people in communities across the UK are not left stranded without these services as we change the way we pay and bank branches close at a rapid rate.

Just over two weeks remain until the general election on 4 July and all the parties will be out and about campaigning today.

An important deadline falls on Tuesday too: people have until one minute to midnight this evening to register to vote. Just two-thirds of 18 to 24-year-olds are on the electoral register compared with 96% of pensioners, and a social media campaign involving celebrities and influencers is hoping to stimulate a last-minute surge.

Expect to see the Conservatives campaigning today on farming and rural issues while Labour is highlighting plans to create 350 new banking hubs in Britain's towns - a move the party claims would bring cash to high streets and help keep pubs and other shops open.

We've been interviewing party leaders throughout the campaign and this morning it's the turn of Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay. You can watch him on Breakfast before Nicky Campbell has him for his Radio 5 Live show. If you have any questions of your own, Nicky would love to hear from you.

As always, our teams across the UK will bring you the latest news, analysis and colour on what the other parties and their leaders are up to throughout the day.
