Former independent terrorism reviewer Lord Carlile, a non-affiliated peer, says "control orders worked very well from 2005 to 2011 and may have saved dozens of lives - it was a grave mistake by the coalition government to dilute them".

He says if T-Pims - the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures, external which replaced control orders - were used more widely individuals such as Salman Abedi would be "more likely to be restricted and less likely to act".

"It's very easy to say we need more policing," he continues, but regional counter-terrorism units "work effectively, although there may be an issue with community policing".

Labour's Barry Gardiner has said there is no "simple causal relationship" between the UK terror threat and its foreign policy, but said the country needed to "profoundly reassess the way in which there are linkages."

Mr Gardiner said it was "undeniable that young radicalised men from this country have used the excuse of British foreign policy and the chaos that has often resulted".

BBC Breakfast

Security minister Ben Wallace has criticised Jeremy Corbyn's stance on foreign policy and his linking of terror to British foreign policy, saying we should not be giving terrorists excuses.

He told BBC Breakfast:

Shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner begins by expressing "solidarity with those who've suffered so tragically" in Manchester.

He says while there is "no simple causal relationship" between foreign intervention and terrorist attacks, "we need profoundly to reassess the way in which there are linkages".

He says there has been a lack of post-intervention planning in countries where the UK had taken military action and then that action has "lost its way". Libya, for example, he said, is "in complete chaos".

He underlines the "responsibility [for attacks] is with those who've perpetrated them" but "they use these things [interventions] as an excuse".

UK foreign policy would change under a Labour government to one that "reduces rather than increases the threat" to the country, Jeremy Corbyn is to say.

As election campaigning resumes after the attack in Manchester, the Labour leader will say the "war on terror is simply not working".

The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith told Today on BBC Radio 4 Mr Corbyn has long argued that action in Iraq and Syria have "fuelled" the threat and he has opposed "virtually every piece of counter-terrorism intervention".

He said Mr Corbyn would argue that cuts at home to the border force and the police have made us more vulnerable and that this would make his attack more personal - because they had happened when Theresa May was the home secretary.

BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier looks ahead to the Labour leader's speech on security, predicting it will "provoke a bit of a backlash not just from opponents but within his party".

She says he will make the point that "we cannot be protected and cared for on the cheap", whereas Home Secretary Amber Rudd has already said it's "wrong" to suggest higher police numbers could have prevented Monday's bombing.

Eleanor says this is "pretty tricky ground to be walking on just days after the attack".

Good morning. Election campaigning resumes in earnest today after Monday's bombing in Manchester, and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will be giving a speech in London at 11:00 BST which he'll question the government's approach to foreign policy and security.

Meanwhile, Theresa May will chair a session on counter-terrorism with G7 leaders in Sicily, at which she is expected to focus on what can be done to deal with the threat posed by extremists online.

Lib Dem former leader Lord Ashdown has objected to Labour's approach, accusing them of "seeking political advantage".

The Question Time debate turns to the leaking of details of the Manchester investigation - including photos from the scene - to the US media.

Amber Rudd says Theresa May has raised the matter with US President Donald Trump, and that she does not think the leaks have damaged the investigation.

The home secretary, who has previously expressed her irritation at the reports appearing in the US media, adds: "It must have been such a terrible thing for the families to see."

Labour's Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says what has happened is "absolutely outrageous".

"It's wrong, it's arrogant of the Americans and it's disrespectful to the people of Greater Manchester and most importantly the families of those who have died."

"I'm a proud Manc and a proud Muslim", says a man in the Question Time audience.

"What happened on Monday night was an evil act and abhorrent act," he says.

He warns that Muslims can be "collateral" damage after a terror attack if Islamophobia increases. Let's not be divided, he says.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd mounts a robust defence of the Prevent programme, saying it is a community-led initiative that has stopped 150 people from travelling to Syria.

"I just do feel that we need to be stronger that Prevent is saving lives," she says.

Here's a piece from the BBC's Dominic Casciani looking at the debate around the Prevent programme (from 2014).

Andy Burnham criticises the Prevent strategy, the government's anti-radicalisation programme.

The strategy - which began under Labour - is "toxic" in parts of the Muslim community, he says.

Muslims feel resources are predominantly targeted at them, he says.

The home secretary rejects criticism of cuts to police budgets, which some warn have affected on-the-ground intelligence about possible extremism.

"We must not imply that this terrorist activity would not have taken place if there were more police," she says, on Question Time.

Good counter-terrorism policy relies on strong relationships between the police and the intelligence services, she says: "It's not about those pure numbers on the street."

She adds: "It's not about policing, so much as engaging with community leaders in the area."

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says the prime minister and home secretary have taken decisive action and should be commended.

He goes on to praise the reaction of the city in coming together and the response of the emergency services, following Monday's attack.

"This is the greatest city in the world and I couldn't be more proud of it," he adds.

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says Mr Corbyn's view, to be outlined in a speech in London on Friday, is that the war on terror has failed and that our foreign policy abroad has made it more dangerous, not safer at home in the UK.

He will stress that that does not justify terrorists' actions

She says his team is well aware that it is a controversial argument to make, in the week of the Manchester attack, but he has held the belief for some time. Laura says she thinks his team believe it would be dishonest to have a debate about preventing future attacks without looking at the whole situation, which for them includes Britain's wars abroad.

However, they are ready for a barrage of criticism over it, she says.

Question Time is up and running in Salford, Greater Manchester.

A man in the audience says, as a father of two young girls, he finds it hard coming to terms with the Manchester suicide bomb attack. Amber Rudd says she does too, and that the important thing is to let the investigation take place.

Nazir Afzal, the chairman of the Police and Crime Commissioners Association, says a conversation is also needed about "deradicalisation" and engaging communities.
