    Former Labour leader Ed Miliband has plenty to say about Theresa May's planned cap on energy tariffs. 

    He says: "I think the real thing is always better than the imitation, and we have year after year of rising bills under the Conservatives - and now they've come up with a policy that Theresa May admitted this afternoon can't guarantee that energy bills won't carry on rising.

    "So I'm afraid it's a price con, not a price cap."

    Political party leaders

    There is less than a month to go before people go to the polls on 8 June.

    For a full run-down of the political parties' election pledges so far, take a look at the BBC's policy pledge tracker.

  4. The 'Garbo factor'published at 20:53 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Caroline Frost, entertainment editor for HuffPost UK, thinks creating a mystique is not such a bad thing for Theresa May.

    Commenting on The One Show, she says: "I think the Garbo factor is always an element to play, especially in showbiz circles when an artist disappears and they make a big comeback. 

    "Similarly, in this month that we have to go, we've heard we're not going to hear very much from her - so these tantalising chunks that we do get become very significant."    

  5. Getting to know Theresa May?published at 20:45 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Philip and Theresa May

    Apparently, the aim behind Theresa May's appearance on The One Show with her husband Philip was to allow a different audience to get to know her better.

    Was it successful?

    Journalist Jo-Anne Nadler says: "If the intention was to introduce people to the real Mr and Mrs May, then it was a successful project.

    "I think the interesting thing about Mrs May, although she has been in frontline British politics for a long time compared to many of her colleagues, she's not very well known as a personality."

  6. Like 'an awkward dinner party'published at 20:24 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Jo-Anne Nadler, a journalist and Conservative politician, says the Mays came across on the television as they are in real life. 

    "It was an authentic portrayal of Theresa May", she says, describing her as charming but quite reserved.  

    For Caroline Frost, entertainment editor for HuffPost UK, the interview on The One Show came across "like an awkward dinner party" - but she reckons the couple just pulled it off.  

  7. May talks of 'stable' upbringingpublished at 20:13 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Back to The One Show. Theresa May was asked about her upbringing in a vicarage in Oxfordshire. 

    She said: "We are talking about life in a vicarage, which is slightly different. It's just very, very happy; very stable. I was very fortunate.

    "I think crucially from my parents, they were very much of the view that it was up to me what I wanted to do. They didn't say 'You can't do that because you're a girl', or 'You can't do this', which is great."

  8. Labour 'recognises' the EU referendum resultpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    While all the talk of the Mays' shoes and bins is going on, Jeremy Corbyn has been telling Labour supporters in Morley: "We recognise the result of the European Union referendum."

    He said that "we recognise things are going to change" and a Labour government would negotiate to guarantee trade access to the EU without tariffs and wouldn't threaten to "set up a tax haven on the shores of Europe".

  14. Banksy isn't May's cup of teapublished at 19:48 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    There's no pretending to be "down with the kids" when it comes to Theresa May.

    She admits to The One Show hosts that the artist Banksy "is not quite my cup of tea".

    Unlike the former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who earlier this week answered a question by quoting a rap by Eminem.

    Theresa May and her husband tell The One Show there is no negotiation over the household chores.

  16. For the love of shoespublished at 19:35 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Is Theresa May fed up with the fascination with her footwear?

    She tells The One Show: "I like my shoes. It gives me a reason for going and buying some more."  

    She also shares a story about chatting to a woman in the lift a few years ago when, after admiring each other's footwear, the young lady told Theresa May: "Your shoes got me involved in politics."

    The question is now, who was that woman?
