The Greens' launch their manifesto ahead of the general election. Here are some of the key points.

The Labour leader says changes to the Tories' social care plans aren't changes at all.

Sinn Fein's manifesto, which was launched earlier, includes a call for a referendum on Irish unity to be held within five years.

It also says Northern Ireland should enjoy designated special status within the EU after Brexit.

The remaining 27 member states have said that Northern Ireland could resume EU membership if the island is united.

The party's John O'Dowd told the BBC News Channel: "If Brexit takes place as envisioned by Theresa May, in terms of leaving the single European market and the customs union, we will have an economic border on the island of Ireland for the first time in over 25 years, which will be a disaster for the economy on the island of Ireland across the entire island.

"If Brexit wishes to take place in Britain, we have no say in that - but we should have a say on terms of remaining within the European Union, through special designated status, because the majority of people here voted to remain within the European Union."

Times change and we change with them. Such idle thoughts occurred to me as I scrutinised the Scottish Labour manifesto in Edinburgh, prior to the formal launch.

Scottish Labour says it will "never" support independence as it launches its general election manifesto.

A new opinion poll testing the political tide in Wales is showing it's turning, with Labour predicted to win the majority of seats after overtaking the Conservatives for the first time since the snap general election was called.

The findings from the latest Welsh Political Barometer poll put Labour on 44%, up from the 35% it was predicted on 8 May.

The Conservatives are now on 34% (down 7%); Plaid Cymru on 9% (down 2%); Liberal Democrats on 6% (down 1%); Ukip on 5% (up 1%) and others on 3% (up 1%).

Being in the middle of an election campaign, with Conservatives knocking on doors every day, you didn't need an opinion poll about how the party's policy on social care was going down, or how alarmed people were, our correspondent said.

Whether people would think this showed weak leadership for changing her mind or that it showed she was listening, the "baffling" thing about Theresa May's announcement today was the bit when she said there was no change, she said.

Sir Andrew Dillnot has told the BBC News Channel he was "pleased about the change in policy", saying he wanted to congratulate the Conservative party for doing it.

He said it was "entirely reasonable that we look to pensioners to fund a large part of the cost of these proposals".

He mentioned the winter fuel allowance, which is to be means-tested, and the triple lock on pensions which is to be reduced to a double, before adding that there need to be more support for people in the area of social care "where it is essential".

"Because the plain fact about social care is the private sector will not offer insurance in this area, because there's too much uncertainty about what social care might cost in 20, 30, 40 years time."

It was a classic case of "market failure", he added.

The main talking point to come out of the Scottish party leaders' TV debate has been a nurse who criticised leader Nicola Sturgeon over the NHS pay freeze.

The SNP's Drew Hendry said the party was "open to looking at" removing the pay cap, while Scottish nurses were already paid more than those working for the English NHS.

He told Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn: "Pay restraint has been a necessary effect of the austerity policies of the Tory government for a number of years."

And he added the Scottish government brought in a "real living wage" for public sector workers, which has not been copied in other party of the UK.

An email has popped into our inbox from Labour looking for donations.

The email reads: "Because they can't defend the indefensible, the Tories have bought ads to make sure that when anyone Googles dementia tax, they get spin rather than the truth.

"So we're crowdfunding our own advert to take them on. The Tories have the super-rich - but we have you. Please chip in right now."

The adverts it refers to are for the Conservatives' "factsheet" on their care plans that we mentioned a moment ago.

Voters are asked if they back the Conservative or Labour leader over caring for older people.

Adam Fleming took the Daily Politics mood box - an unscientific test with a plastic box and balls - to hear what the people of Birmingham thought.

The views were sought before Monday’s announcement from Theresa May where she spoke of a social care "cap", or what she called an “absolute limit".

"There will be recriminations internally over how the party got into such a mess over selling the policy to the electorate," writes Nigel Morris, political editor of the i newspaper., external

"It was drawn up in secret and with little consultation, with commentators alternatively suggesting its inclusion in the manifesto reflected boldness in facing up to difficult decisions or the arrogance of a party believing it was heading for overwhelming victory," he says.

"Either way the policy proposal has crashed and burned disastrously. No wonder Theresa May looked so tetchy and shaken."

The Labour leader describes today's U-turn by Theresa May as "a kind of triumph of spin over reality".

In fact, he says, it's not a U-turn at all. Far from scrapping an unfair policy, he goes on, "it's exactly the same as they said last week, but they're pretending it's something different."

That's because it's still expecting "those in desperate need" to fund their own care.

While "they would rather further reduce corporate taxation and the tax burden on the wealthy, we take a totally different approach," he says.

The Labour leader is criticised for not unequivocally condemning the IRA in an interview.
