Nick Ferrari ends with some quick-fire questions:

How many soldiers in the British Army?

79,500, says Mrs May, getting it right.

He goes on to say - you've been called "bloody difficult", "delusional" and a "tough lady" - which best describes you?

It's not for me to say, it's for other people to say," Mrs May said.  

And finally - who's the most important Philip on Downing Street? (Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, or Mr May?)

The man who takes out the bins, she says, referring to comments made by her husband Philip on BBC's The One Show.

On Tory plans to reduce immigration to the tens of thousands, Mrs May says: "You have to keep working at it. When we leave the EU, we can set rules."

A draft of the Labour Party manifesto was leaked to the media - one week before its official launch.

Our reporter Chris Vallance went to Copeland in Cumbria, a key battleground in this election, to hear what shoppers in the local market make of it.

A doctor calling in says she's seen organ transplants cancelled because there were not enough nurses and she criticises Mrs May's reappointment of Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt who has "demoralised an entire workforce".

Mrs May gives her backing to Mr Hunt and praises the work he's done.

Now onto how Mrs May will help the Just about Managing (JAMs).

We want to reduce tax on low-income families, she says. "We are a party that believes in low taxes." 

Nick Ferrari asks: "Will you be putting taxes up?

"We will go into government with no plans to increase tax," says Mrs May.

Mrs May told the BBC's One show she liked to cook earlier this week.

What's her signature dish, Nick Ferrari asks. Slow-roast shoulder of lamb, she replies, that falls off the bone.

Next, Mrs May is asked about the death of her parents when she was in her mid-20s.

She says she was fortunate to have been married - "Philip was my rock." 

"I was an only child - suddenly there I was without the two people who had meant so much to me throughout my life," she says.

It reinforced her belief in public service, which she had learnt from her parents, she says.

Theresa May is up on the LBC radio show now.

Presenter Nick Ferrari starts on a very personal note by asking her how different her life would have been had she had had children.

"It turned out not to be possible for us," she said, but "you just get on with life".

Food writer Jack Monroe says she won't be standing for Parliament after receiving hate mail and suffering poor health. 

Ms Monroe, a campaigner on health and poverty issues, said she was taking the decision "for my own sanity and also the safety of my seven-year-old son". 

She had planned to contest the Southend West seat for the National Health Action (NHA) Party.

Labour's draft manifesto is seen by some senior party figures as the most left-wing manifesto since it was was led by Michael Foot in 1983. 

Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, explains just how radical it is - and how this might affect Labour's election chances.

The Greens say they won’t stand in Mid Dorset & North Poole after "talks" with the local Liberal Democrat candidate.

The Conservatives took the seat from the Lib Dems at the last election.

Labour's John McDonnell has denied that Labour's plans are an un-costed "wish-list", saying the funding for its policies will be revealed when the manifesto is officially unveiled next week.

Speaking after the meeting at which the manifesto was agreed, the shadow chancellor said people would see the detail as the individual plans were set out, adding that Labour would borrow to invest, as other European countries did.

Mr McDonnell denied Labour was harking back to the 1970s saying its plans were a "modernisation programme", it was an "up-grade for our economy".

Sit down in the BBC election chair and tell us where you stand on that leak.

Nicola Sturgeon says the Conservatives’ shameful treatment of EU citizens living in the UK is "poisoning the well" of Brexit negotiations before they have even begun and is promising that the SNP will press the Tory government to act in Scotland’s interests.

Speaking on a visit to St Andrews University, the First Minister says the potentially devastating effect of a "hard" Brexit on Scotland’s higher education institutions is just one example of the “active damage” the Tories are doing to Scotland’s economy.

She went on to say that university leaders were "ringing alarm bells" about how Brexit would damage their ability to attract international students, access EU research funding and collaborate internationally – but the Tories have "shown nothing but cold indifference to their concerns".  

The Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas has complained that the issue of the environment has been ignored in the election campaign thus far and the word barely mentioned:

Speaking at the launch of her party's environment manifesto in London, Ms Lucas said:

"The environment is the air that we breathe, it's the water we drink and food we eat; the countryside, the landscape. It's our rivers and our seas. 

"Yet for some it's still a secondary concern: something to be considered when we've fixed so-called more important issues."

The top EU Brexit negotiator warns there will have to be customs controls between NI and the Republic.
