    Scotland's political parties have resumed general election campaigning after a three-day pause in the wake of the Manchester terror attack.

    Campaigning across the UK was suspended after Monday night's suicide bombing, with the SNP postponing its manifesto launch until next week.

    Each of the Scottish party leaders have headed back out on the campaign trail.

    They all said it was important to show democracy was standing defiant in the face of terrorism.

    Naomi Long said the Manchester attack is "not our tragedy, it's Manchester's tragedy" and people in NI should offer Manchester solidarity and support

    The leader of Northern Ireland's Alliance Party has described political parties engaging in "political point-scoring" over the Manchester attack as "really distasteful".

    Naomi Long said she understood the criticism of Sinn Féin for condemning Monday's suicide bombing - while not condemning an IRA attack in 1996 - but Republicans would have been likewise been criticised if they hadn't condemned this week's atrocity.

  17. Griffith: PM 'cannot be trusted' over carepublished at 20:53 British Summer Time 26 May 2017

    BBC Radio 4

    Nia Griffith goes on the attack over social care saying Theresa May's U-turn over the option of considering a cap on total costs was a "completely opportunistic" response to a policy that was falling apart under scrutiny.

    "You can't trust a word she says," she tells Radio 4's Any Questions.

    But David Davis says it was always clear in the party's manifesto that there would be a green paper and a consultation - in which the cap will now be considered - and shrugs off claims that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt was among ministers to actually dismiss a cap in the days before the move was announced.

    He goes onto say an extra £8bn in real terms will be spent on health care up to 2020.

  18. Davis: UK not a 'supplicant' over Brexitpublished at 20:49 British Summer Time 26 May 2017

    BBC Radio 4

    On Any Questions, David Davis lets on that he has read a copy of former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis' book about his country's debt crisis.

    Asked whether there are any parallels with Brexit, Mr Davis suggests Greece was effectively done over by the EU because it was a "supplicant" in the financing negotiations and the UK is "not a supplicant".

  19. Griffith: UK must be prepared to use Tridentpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 26 May 2017

    BBC Radio 4

    Labour's shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith gives her backing to Jeremy Corbyn over his foreign policy speech earlier, which linked foreign military interventions to the threat of domestic terrorism.

    On Any Questions, she says the Labour leader made it clear he was "condemning absolutely the terrorists and the networks behind them" but was pointing out that military action can create a power vacuum in countries which allow groups like Daesh to flourish.

    She also makes it clear that Labour is committed to the principle of renewing Trident and Mr Corbyn was not questioning that in his promise of a post-election defence review.

    While nuclear weapons could only ever be contemplated as a last resort, she says that there is no point having them unless they could potentially be called upon.
