  3. Corbyn: Free school meals worth itpublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    Sticking with school, Jeremy Corbyn says there are plans in the manifesto to change the funding formula for primary schools and to ensure free school meals for every primary school child.

    "It's expensive but it's worth it," he says. "Hungry children don't learn."

  4. Corbyn: Underfunded school cuts hourspublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    Speaking in Telford, Jeremy Corbyn starts on the NHS, saying that's the reason Labour supporters have come together - "because we want a decent NHS".

    "Our health service is not up for sale, not up for negotiation," he says.

    He swiftly turns to education, saying he has just "had word" that a school in London is cutting school hours because of funding shortages.

    He speaks of reports from all over the country of headteachers holding collections to pay teachers' salaries and secondary school heads cutting subjects.

    "I was utterly determined to get to Telford at some point. This is where I grew up.

    "This is where I learned the values of communities coming together to achieve something better," he told them.

    Labour, he says, are "offering hope".

  8. 'Mixed message' from SNP campaignpublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    BBC Radio 5 live

    The SNP will "no doubt be the biggest party" in Scotland but is likely to suffer "a few losses along the way", says the BBC's Andrew Kerr in Edinburgh.

    There has been a slightly "mixed message" from the party about whether the general election campaign is about independence or not, he adds.

    Nicola Sturgeon has argued that a good showing of MPs will support the party's call for a second referendum but has also been trying not to "scare away" voters who think the party is too focused on the issue.

  9. 'Growing confidence' in Labour's campaignpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Dan Johnson, who is following Labour, tells 5 Live "we've seen a growing confidence" in the party's campaign.

    Jeremy Corbyn is "enjoying himself", Dan says, and "he's been late for almost every event he's done," as he's been held up meeting supporters.

    However, this means "he's missed opportunities to speak to a wider audience" as these delays have sometimes meant he has missed slots on the news channels.

    And, while there has been "almost fanatical support" among the people who come to see him, they're likely to have been people who were always intending to vote Labour.

    Polls suggest he is starting to win over others, Dan adds, though it could be "too little, too late" with only two days to go until polling day.

    Mr Corbyn has focused on "core issues of fairness and equality" with "for the many, not the few" being Labour's equivalent of the Conservatives' slogan "strong and stable".

  12. UKIP 'saying we told you so'published at 15:54 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Vicki Young is with UKIP, who have been saying "we told you so" about counter-extremism.

    Leader Paul Nuttall has talked about more police powers to detain suspected terrorists without charge and the possible return of control orders, the BBC's chief political correspondent tells 5 Live.

    Mr Nuttall "thinks there are many people out there who will look at what has happened" and agree, for example, that someone who goes overseas to fight for so-called Islamic State should be prevented from returning.

    "He thinks he should not be accused of being racist or anti-Muslim for saying this," Vicki adds.

    She also observes that, with UKIP losing vote share, "the Conservatives are certainly very confident, across the country, millions will switch to them" - which could have a significant impact on the election result.

    The prime minister just about leapt on to the platform at a Staffordshire rugby club this morning.

    She told the audience that she liked election campaigns - but after what has certainly been a trickier campaign for her than expected, Theresa May seems to be pleased at the prospect that the campaign (although perhaps not the retributions afterwards) is nearly over.

    What she most certainly did not expect was in the closing days to be having to answer for her record as home secretary, which the attacks in Manchester and London have thrown into sharp relief.Theresa May did not expect to be answering for her record as home secretary in the final days of the campaign.

  16. Tories in campaign fight on securitypublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    BBC Radio 5 live

    BBC political correspondent Ben Wright is on the Conservative battle bus, which has travelled from Lancashire to Wales to the Midlands during the day, amid a fierce campaign fight with Labour "on the issue of security and counter-terrorism".

    Theresa May has also been campaigning on Brexit and talking of "reigniting the British spirit".

    Opponents say, however, they have heard nothing from Theresa May about the Conservatives' detailed plans for the Brexit process.

  17. Lib Dems 'think Brexit hasn't been talked about enough'published at 15:37 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

    BBC Radio 5 live

    "How did you get coverage on the train?" 5 Live asks the BBC's Eleanor Garnier, who is on the campaign trail with the Liberal Democrats - and halted by a tree on the line.

    Eleanor, who managed to get a mobile signal, says she had "Nick Clegg right next to me, desperate to get off the train". They are meant to be joining leader Tim Farron and campaigning on Brexit.

    Despite Theresa May saying the election was about Brexit, Mr Clegg thinks "it hasn't been talked about enough" and accused both Mrs May and Jeremy Corbyn of not getting into enough detail about the UK leaving the EU.

    The Lib Dems "see themselves as the party of the so-called 48%", Eleanor adds - the people who voted against leaving the EU last year.
