What about the Just About Managings? The group the prime minister gave a name to and who she says she's on the side of?

There are a number of ways she wants to support them, says Mrs May.

On the cost of living she wants:

• A stronger economy with higher-paid jobs
• Help with energy bills
• Increasing the number of "good" school places
• "Record" funding of the NHS

And finally, the Conservatives have a draft industrial strategy to "build the economy".

Theresa May - a former financial consultant - is predictably well-drilled on the figures. No Diane Abbott moment for her.

But her tactic of blaming Jeremy Corbyn for making "fake" claims over social care allows her opponent to look like he has got her on the run on this issue.

It's the turn of tax.

Of course in March, the government was forced into a U-turn after the budget outlined a plan to raise national insurance contributions for the self-employed.

The 2015 Tory manifesto had pledged taxes would not rise.

Now in her 2017 manifesto, she's ruled out a VAT rise, but not a rise in national insurance or income tax. Why, asks Andrew Neil?

"Because I want to be very clear that as a Conservative party in government, as we always have been, we're a party that believes in lower taxes.

"I have every intention of reducing taxes on companies and working families," she says, "but I want to ensure that when we do that, we are able to do that in a sustainable way."

And she appears not to rule out a return of a tax rise for the self-employed.

Mrs May is being asked about funding of the NHS. Is that extra £8bn new money and where will it come from, she's repeatedly asked.

It's a strong economy that pays for the NHS, she says, adding she has put some "examples" in the manifesto where they're going to change the way money is used.

And their record shows they can put "record sums of money" into the NHS, she says.

"Our economic credibility is not in doubt," she says, adding it's the Labour party "in the dock".

You're ability to answer this question may be in doubt, says Andrew Neil.

It's a "strong and growing economy" that pays for the NHS, she reiiterates, and they will "ensure" they generate the funds.

It's the hot topic of the day: Is the decision to put a cap on how much people will have to fund their social care at home a U-turn or not?

The prime minister is adament it isn't - a consultation, or green paper - was always part of the plan, she insists.

Since the publication of the Conservative manifesto last week, much of the attention has focused on reforms to the way care for elderly and vulnerable adults is funded.

The manifesto did not mention an overall cap on costs, instead proposing a £100,000 "floor" beyond which people's assets would be protected.

"Jeremy Corbyn is playing politics," she insists, branding them "fake claims" which are "scaring old and vulnerable people".

It's all Jeremy Corbyn's fault for "playing on the fears" of older people, says Theresa May, as she explains why she has changed her policy on social care.

No mention of the concerns expressed by Tory activists reporting back from the doorstep over the weekend.

She repeatedly accuses Mr Corbyn of "trying to sneak into Number 10".

Andrew Neil suggests Mr Corbyn is "writing the Tory manifesto".

Now she's being tackled on the lack of costings which came with the Conservative manifesto.

Andrew Neill asks whether Mrs May was so sure of winning that she thought she could "get away with a load of uncosted and half-baked policies".

No, she says, "I've never taken anything for granted."

She says her policies address what she thinks are the "five great challenges we face as a country".

The country has to "be willing to face up to these challenges and fix them", she says.

As for paying for it, her party's track record on the economy means they have nothing to prove, unlike Labour, she adds.

To kick off, Mrs May is questioned about the narrowing of her party's opinion poll lead over Labour,

She's asked the question twice, with the prime minister insisting that "the only poll that counts is the one that actually takes place on the 8th of June".

There's a lot at stake, she says, with the crucial Brexit negotiations coming up.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has been heckled during an election campaign visit to St Ives. A man accused Mr Johnson of lying "about the money".

The Andrew Neil interview with Prime Minister Theresa May is about to be aired on BBC One.

The social care system “will collapse unless we do something about it”, the prime minister has said, as there will be two million more people over the age of 75 within 10 years.

She was speaking to Andrew Neil after announcing an "absolute limit" on the money people will have to pay for social care, which critics have been calling a U-turn.

Mrs May said in the BBC1 interview: "Nothing has changed from the principle on social care policy I set out in the manifesto.”

The 30-minute interview starts at 19:00 BST and will be repeated on BBC Parliament at 22:30.

Away from the general election campaign trail, four men, including the new Conservative leader of Lancashire County Council and the chief executive of Liverpool City Council have been arrested as part of a fraud inquiry.

Lancashire Police arrested Councillor Geoff Driver and Ged Fitzgerald, along with two other Liverpool council officers, this morning on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation.

It's the latest development in a fraud investigation into the running of One Connect, a a "one-stop shop" phone service set up jointly by Lancashire County Council and telecom giant BT to run council services.

Mr Fitzgerald was previously chief executive of Lancashire County Council.

Two weeks ago, following the local elections, Mr Driver was celebrating taking back control of Lancashire from Labour. He is due to be installed as leader on Thursday.

Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas has been explaining her plans to introduce a four-day week, which she says could increase productivity.

"We work some of the longest hours in Europe and yet we also have one of the lowest productivity rates. And there is evidence there that suggests that if people are less exhausted they're likely to be more productive," Ms Lucas told Radio 4's PM.

Here's the prime minister in Wales a little earlier, facing a press pack eager to question her about the revised Conservative plans on social care.

The BBC England Data Unit combined the latest Office for National Statistics data for December 2016, showing the number of registered voters per constituency, with the official population estimates.

They also found some areas of the country where more than a third of people in their constituency are not registered.

The deadline to register in time for the UK general election is 23:59 today.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron says suggestions the Conservatives have done a U-turn on their plans for social care funding are wrong.

Theresa May said earlier that changes proposed by the Conservatives to social care funding in England will now include an "absolute limit" on the money people will have to pay - a change to the policy unveiled last week which see people liable for the full cost of the care they receive over £100,000.

Mr Farron says the "dementia tax" is clearly "alive and well", but people will not be told how much they will be charged for social care until after the general election.

"I think British people's intelligence is being insulted by a woman who started this morning being cruel and has now added chaos to that," he said.

He added that Mrs May was "less Margaret Thatcher, more Captain Mainwaring or more likely Corporal Jones - it's more a case of don't panic, than strong and stable".
