Some may have been surprised when Ed Balls danced his way on to the TV screens as a Strictly contestant.

But last night, he took on a bit of acting (and dancing) on This Week, paying homage to a Twin Peaks character from the cult TV programme which returns to TV screens this weekend after 25 years.

And the former shadow chancellor showed off another skill as he played bingo master, days after his former leader Ed Milband was snapped doing something similar out on the campaign trail.

Nine-year-old Hasnain Naswaz stole the show at the speech Jeremy Corbyn just gave in Peterborough.

The son of a Labour supporter asked the party's leader what strong and stable (the Tories' current favourite refrain) meant.

Details of political fundraising, Nicola Sturgeon spoke about 'Lexit', a UKIP battle bus breakdown and some mooing from the foreign secretary all feature in my Friday campaign report.

NHS budget deficits may not be published until after the general election because of purdah rules, but what are they?

Jeremy Corbyn brings his time at the lectern to an end with the following:

"This election is a choice - there's a very clear choice here.

"The Labour way of working for the good of the entire community, or the other side's way which is perpetuating the grotesque levels of inequality that already exists in our society.

"I know which one I've chosen," finishes Mr Corbyn to a standing ovation.

The swingometer has been a regular feature of election night coverage for six decades, aiming to explain the unfolding results in visual terms.

Daily Politics reporter Jenny Kumah has been looking at the evolution of the simple hand-made prop, which has been updated by computer technology.

The Daily Politics

Immigration is a key topic for political parties, with voters scrutinising plans to control numbers after Brexit.

Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn heard from Gurnek Bains, the chief executive of new think-tank Global Future, and from UKIP immigration spokesman John Bickley.

The Libertarian Party is suggesting a 10% corporation tax level as part of its plans "to reduce the level of taxation as much as humanly possible".

Deputy leader Will Taylor told Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn about its policies to clear the national debt, before journalists Sam Coates and Hilary Wainwright joined in the debate.

Mr Corbyn is taking questions from the floor, including one from nine-year-old Hasnain Nawaz, from Peterborough, who asks: "What does strong and stable leadership mean?".

The crowd's delighted.

Mr Corbyn replies:

This Week

Theresa May does not want to be another Iron Lady, but appears to be modelling herself on the "disastrous Nanny State meddler Ted Heath" says James Delingpole.

In a personal film for This Week, the executive editor of Breitbart in London looked at the 2017 general election and claimed that her politics "must make red Jeremy Corbyn wonder why he bothers".

After his film was aired, he debated with Andrew Neil, Michael Portillo and Ed Balls - watch the whole programme on iPlayer.

Here's another pledge: Every primary school child will get a free school meal every day.

Now it's social care.

More than a million people don't get the care they need, the Labour leader says.

"This Conservative government has made a huge cut in social care budget already," he tells the audience, saying the Conservatives are putting a £100,000 cap on social care "which goes nowhere to meeting needs".

It's completed unrealistic, he says, vowing Labour will make sure social care is "properly funded".

Jeremy Corbyn, all guns blazing, directs his fire at the Conservative plan to means-test the winter fuel allowance.

"Labour believes in the whole point of universal benefits", he says, saying the party would protect the benefit for pensioners.

And says they will maintain the triple lock on pensions: "We will not destroy, we will not undermine it.. that is the Labour commitment in this election."

Jeremy Corbyn takes to the stage in Peterborough to great applause.

He kicks off by promising to reverse the restructuring of the health service and pledges to "properly fund" mental health services.

Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn is back on the campaign trail today and is expected to make a speech shortly.

He's been quizzed by the Press Association about whether he thinks Theresa May is a 'red Tory' - apparently he does not.

This is what he had to say:

Wales' Health Secretary Vaughan Gething insists he wants the Labour leader to become prime minister.
