    What's in a wobble? With nine days to go there is no question that the Tory juggernaut has slowed down. The yawning gap in the early polls has tightened. A more sceptical and questioning approach to Theresa May has emerged.

    Voters seem less willing to take her Brexit slogans at face value. Her change of heart on social care has been felt on the doorstep. And there's evidence too of an extra willingness to listen at least to Jeremy Corbyn.

    But does it really change the fundamentals of this election?

    John Bercow has said he will seek to stay on in office if he is returned as an MP at the general election.

    Mr Bercow, who was elected as Speaker in 2009, told Sky News he had originally indicated an intention to serve for approximately nine years about eight years ago, before fixed term parliaments were introduced.

    He says if he is re-elected, he would ask the House of Commons if it is willing to allow him to continue as Speaker for the 2017 parliament, which could run up to 2022.

  19. GE2017: Does anyone ever remember the numbers?published at 19:45 British Summer Time 30 May 2017

    Radio 4 PM

    Jeremy Corbyn has joined an increasingly growing list of politicians who have not been able to answer specific questions about their manifesto pledges.

    So does that matter? Is it bad for politicians not to know the numbers, or is it bad that journalists focus on them?

    Katie Balls, a political reporter from the Spectator wonders why politicians don't just "spend an extra 10 minutes getting to know their brief" which would "result in them gaining voters".

    Helen Lewis, deputy editor at the New Statesman says this kind of scrutiny is encouraging "politicians to be as vague as possible so it is harder to catch them out".

    Are journalists too focused on election numbers rather than election policies?
