Britain is "full up" and the British National Party would offer a voluntary repatriation grant to cut numbers, chairman Adam Walker says.

He was interviewed on the Daily Politics and asked about the party's policies and growth since since it slumped at the 2015 election - as well as his criminal record.

He told presenter Jo Coburn: "We are not racist - it's just a label that has been put on us over the years. It's not racist to oppose mass immigration, it's a numbers game."

The interview is part of a series with parties fielding at least three general election candidates. Watch them here.

Pints for young people, plenty of green cushions, Lib Dems and UKIP agreeing on social care and Jeremy Corbyn wowing a concert crowd, are some of the stories in my Monday campaign report.

"He is a man for the many in this country, not the few," says former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott of Jeremy Corbyn.

And with that, Mr Corbyn himself steps up to a chant of "Jeremy! Jeremy! Jeremy!"

He says it's the 52nd event he's done since the campaign began "and each rally is bigger than the last".

Jeremy Corbyn's attitude to the IRA came under scrutiny in a weekend TV interview.

Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn looked at the Labour leader's record on links to the organisation before getting a reaction from Labour's Chuka Umunna, who said it was never brought up on the door step.

But former Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said victims of IRA violence would be "upset and distressed" that a potential PM would not condemn the organisation

Lord Prescott is warming up the crowd for Jeremy Corbyn in Scarborough... can you tell who he's meant to be?

Mocking the PM over her remarks on social care a few hours ago, he says: "This woman changes every time, but doesn't want to debate it with Jeremy."

He says "this election is so fundamental nobody should have the excuse not to vote".

He lists all the public services he says the Tories have "destroyed" over the past six years.

The Daily Mail's James Tapsfield says Theresa May "took drastic action, external to end the mounting backlash over the Tory manifesto"."The original overhaul appeared to have given Labour, external a major boost as they warned of a Conservative assault on pensioners," he writes.

"But the volte-face threatened to throw the Tories into meltdown despite Mrs May's protestations that 'nothing has changed' in her plans."

The Guardian

"The best that can be said for May’s move is that, if you are going to have to perform a policy U-turn, it is best to get it over and done with quickly," says Andrew Sparrow in the Guardian., external "A day’s embarrassment is well worth putting up with if it results in policy on a major issue ending up in a place where it is defensible and not haemorrhaging votes."

But he goes on: "That said, it has been an awful morning for May - possibly her worst as prime minister. During the Q&A after her speech she came close to losing her composure, and the footage of her, voice rising, claiming “nothing has changed” (as she confirmed that it has) was an image consultant’s nightmare."

Daily Mirror

The Mirror says it has come up with "10 astonishing U-turns" , externalTheresa May has made since entering Downing Street.

On the list:

• National Insurance for self-employed workers - scrapped shortly after being announced in the Budget
• "Taking in refugee children" - back and forth on the Dubs amendment commitment
• Energy price cap - after denouncing Ed Miliband's idea for one, she announced "a near identical policy"
• and the election itself - having "promised SEVEN times that she wouldn’t be calling an election until 2020"

Have the governments since 2010 borrowed more than all Labour governments and is that a fair comparison?

The Green Party has pledged not only to scrap tuition fees for university students but to wipe all existing debt held by graduates.

In March 2016, the total amount of debt, external owed by English students and EU students studying in England was £76.3bn.

To write off this debt, the Greens would have to pay out that amount from the public purse or find some other way of funding it.

This would represent a large outlay of cash from the government, although presumably it would only be a one-off payment, unlike their pledge to scrap tuition fees.

A man arrested after protesting as Theresa May arrived at a campaign event has been released without charge.

The 25-year-old, who gave his name as Connor to the Press Association, had played a hunting bugle and shouted "Save our wildlife, kill May."

James Murray, from website Business Green, thinks the Green Party manifesto is "notably more balanced in its approach to business than some of the party's previous statements".

He says it combines "promises to increase corporation tax and introduce a 'Robin Hood' tax on financial transactions, with pledges to mobilise more investment across the green economy and "support start-ups and creative enterprises through community credit and green investment'".

The Greens have, though, said they want squeeze companies making "excess profits" and use the money to fund pledges such as a four-day working week and the writing off of all student debt.

A quick recap:

• After four days of defending their plans to overhaul the system for funding social care, Theresa May has performed a major U-turn
• She didn't call it that, of course, and said the news that there will, after all, be a cap on the total bill anyone will face is merely a "clarification"
• "Nothing has changed", she insisted repeatedly, but the consensus seems to be from our experts and others that, in fact, a whole lot has
• What we still need clarifying is what that cap will be - efforts to elicit that information from the PM didn't bear fruit
• Elsewhere, Jeremy Corbyn has been pushing a Labour pledge to scrap university tuition fees for all students from this year
• The Green Party has launched its manifesto, promising an EU "ratification referendum" and a "caring" set of policies
• There have also been manifesto launches by Welsh Labour, the Welsh Conservatives,Scottish Labour and Sinn Fein - read more via our links
