On Any Questions, David Davis is asked whether he would support an increase in the number of terror suspects subject to control orders.

He says this is a matter for the home secretary but that he imagines this is one of the things that will be reviewed should the Conservatives win the election.

He dismisses suggestions that he would be obliged to resign if that was the case, saying his decision to quit his seat and force a by-election while shadow home secretary in 2008 was about a different proposal to detain suspects for six weeks without any charge.

The prime minister has defended the government’s record on counter-terrorism, insisting it has "protected counter-terrorism police funding", increased security funding and given the agencies "the powers that they need".

Attending the G7 Summit in Sicily, Theresa May was asked by the BBC's John Pienaar if she has done enough to provide funds, powers and police numbers, when the Manchester bomber was known to the authorities.

Theresa May said: “We have protected counter-terrorism police funding. We have increased the funding for our security and intelligence agencies. And we continue to provide them with the support they need.”

Mrs May added: “As home secretary, of course, I oversaw the Investigatory Powers Act going through Parliament which ensures that our agencies have the powers that they need.”

He'll never stand for elected office again but Barack Obama has been showing the others how to pull off a campaign-style walkabout, with a touch of sport thrown in.

The former US President has been playing golf in Scotland, a favourite pastime of commanders in chief, both past and present.

It looks like he chose a good day to tackle the Old Course in St Andrews, the Open venue widely regarded as the most venerable in the country.

The crowds came out in large numbers to watch him.

Mr Obama is addressing a business dinner in Edinburgh later on Friday.

The political week began with the prime minister's apparent U-turn on social care funding after the party's lead narrowed in the weekend polls.

For This Week, BBC political presenter Jo Coburn reflects on a week when election campaigning was suspended after the Manchester attack.

She said: "A dramatic manifesto U-turn. And then politics suspended in tragic circumstances. Campaigning is resuming, but against backdrop of terror."

The Conservatives have issued a scathing response to Jeremy Corbyn's Andrew Neil interview.

International Development Secretary Priti Patel said: “Corbyn didn’t answer a single question in that interview.

"He spent half an hour trying to escape from everything he had said and done in his 30 years in politics.

“The fact is he backed the IRA, doesn’t support NATO, wouldn’t renew Trident, wants to increase immigration and wants to massively increase taxes on working families."

Ms Patel adds that Brexit is "central to everything" and a "vote for anyone other than Theresa May puts Corbyn in Downing Street and everything at risk”.

Asked whether the Manchester attack will lead to further counter-terrorism powers, Brexit Secretary David Davis says the relevant legislation is "permanently under review".

He tells Any Questions on Radio 4 that the UK's "enemies are always changing their tactics and approach" and the authorities have to respond accordingly.

A massive amount of resources has been invested in counter-terrorism policing and intelligence gathering, he says, but that is not always sufficient.

Russia, he suggests, is a virtual "police state" but it is not immune to terror attacks.

Mr Davis says he "doesn't like having soldiers outside his office" but the decision to mobilise the army onto the UK's streets to aid the police was a "necessary response" made by intelligence experts.

If you enjoyed that and want to see more party leaders get the Andrew Neil treatment, you don't have long to wait.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon is next up on Sunday with UKIP's Paul Nuttall on Monday and the Lib Dem Tim Farron on Thursday, all on BBC One.

Andrew interviewed Theresa May on Monday.

It didn't dominate the interview by any means but here's a little recap of some of the exchanges over the economy.

Mr Corbyn was asked about what his plans to nationalise the railways, water companies, Royal Mail and National Grid would do to the UK's debt levels.

Andrew Neil asked whether the national debt, which has already soared under the Tory government, would further increase under Labour.

"No, because we would borrow to invest in the future, we would not borrow for revenue expenditure," Mr Corbyn replied.

We would get investment in services which would encourage economic growth, argued Mr Corbyn.

He also talked about balancing investment, which he said was currently heavily weighted in favour of London and the South East, and set up a regional investment bank.

The Labour leader says there are plenty of people in the party, including candidates, who are positive about him and suggests it was Andrew Neil's "choice" not to refer to them.

The BBC interviewer ends the half hour encounter by saying that the public will face a choice of their own in just over two weeks time and Mr Corbyn agrees.

There were very interesting exchanges on foreign policy, the IRA, Trident, Nato and leadership but possibly no knockout blow on either side.

We will do a round-up of what Twitter commentators are saying about it shortly.

It was a Labour government that armed Britain with nuclear weapons, in the 1940s.

The policy was conceived in secret and has proved highly controversial in the party ever since. Here is a look at Labour's tortured relationship with the bomb.

Jeremy Corbyn is a year out when he says Nato was founded in 1948.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was founded on 4 April 1949.

Here is a BBC profile of Nato.

The Labour leader was also a year out on the fall of the Berlin Wall.

He said the wall fell in 1990, it actually came down on 9 November 1989.

Read more about it here.

Andrew Neil reads out a list of MPs and their rather unflattering comments about Mr Corbyn, his leadership skills and his appeal (or lack of) to life-long Labour supporters.

But Jeremy Corbyn is armed himself with the Labour manifesto, which he says is being campaigned for "day in and day out" on the streets.

Now he's tackled on immigration. The Conservatives have pledged for a third time to cut migration down to tens of thousands. Would Labour cut numbers as well?

We're in favour of managed migration when free movement ends, Mr Corbyn says, adding they are against whole-scale workforces being brought in to undermine existing workers.

But he's making no promises to cut immigration, he says, insisting numbers would be based on necessary family reunions and the economic needs of the country.

Andrew Neil moves onto domestic policy and Labour's promises on tax and spending, including a rise in corporation tax and income tax for anyone earning over £80,000.

Aren't you risking our economic recovery? Mr Corbyn is asked.

Ninety-five per cent of the population won't pay any extra tax under Labour he says.

Less than six million people earn under the living wage, there are unprecedented hospital waiting times, one million people denied social care, and homelessness is increasing.

He's challenged about research from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, which says the plans would affect many more than the top 5%.

He say Labour's investment "would bring about a better society, and a more harmonious society."

Then he tells us we have a "choice", rather echoing Theresa May when she sat in the same chair on Monday.

And the choice is whether we underfund public services or "invest in the future".
