The leader of the Brexit Party tweets that he has "no time for fight a seat" himself, after he told the BBC's Andrew Marr that he would not be standing in 12 December's poll.

An expanded Heathrow airport would "not meet" Labour's environmental, economic and social "criteria", says shadow chancellor John McDonnell.

He declines to say explicitly whether the party would rule out the expansion in order to tackle climate change.

Speaking to Andrew Marr, he adds that "so far" it doesn't qualify to meet economic, environmental and social criteria.

Shown front pages of the three biggest Jewish newspapers in the UK from this week, in which they express concerns about Jeremy Corbyn's record on tackling anti-Semitism, shadow chancellor John McDonnell says: "I am so saddened by this. I just want to reassure them we are doing everything we can."

"We're also doing everything we can to educate our own members."

"All the things that they've asked us to do, we're doing."

He says he wants to reassure the Jewish community that "our society" creates a safe and decent environment for them and everyone else.

Asked if a future Labour government would get rid of all privatisation inside the NHS, shadow chancellor John McDonnell says "yes".

He says as private contracts are run out they should be brought in-house "because we believe in a democratic NHS".

"We shouldn't be allowing people to profiteer from the NHS," he says.

About 7% of the NHS is run by private companies at the moment.

The Liberal Democrats are not ruling out a Remain alliance in up to 60 seats across the UK.

Asked on Sky's Ridge on Sunday whether the Lib Dems, Plaid Cyrmu and the Greens could work together, Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson says: "The specifics of announcements will be made in due course but it's well understood that these discussions have been taking place."

She adds: "I wouldn't necessarily assume that the numbers are accurate."

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell says he does not believe Donald Trump's assurances that he is not looking for the NHS to be part of a future trade deal with the US.

"It's the first wedge, it's the first foot in the door of selling off the NHS," he says.

Rishi Sunak, chief secretary to the Treasury, says: “We have every confidence that economy is in a strong place.”

He adds that Boris Johnson's Brexit deal would "end uncertainty".

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak says "I don't think we're interested in offering anything" in the form of a pact with Nigel Farage.

He disagrees with Mr Farage's assessment of Mr Johnson's Brexit deal, saying it delivered on an independent trade policy.

"What I'd say to Nigel Farage is sometimes in politics as in life, you've got to take yes for an answer," he says.

Voters who backed Labour in 2017 because they hoped the party would want to remain in the EU have been "bitterly disappointed", Liberal Democrats' leader Jo Swinson tells Sky's Sophy Ridge.

She says that in the "vast majority of constituencies" the Liberal Democrats will be the best remain-supporting party to win seats, but acknowledges that's "not universally the case", referring to the Green Party and Plaid Cymru.

"Of course we should work constructively with those other parties to further our ultimate goal, which is protecting our place in the European Union," she says.

Labour's shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey was "painful to watch" when talking about Brexit on Sky News, says Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson.

Asked why the Liberal Democrats are not working with the Labour Party in the run-up to the election, she tells Sky's Sophy Ridge: "The Labour leadership do not even know whether they want to remain or leave."

Speaking about his decision not to stand in December's poll, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage says he thought "very hard" about "how to serve the cause of Brexit best".

"I don't want to be in politics for the rest of my life," he says.

But he says he will be going out "across the country" with the Brexit Party's message.

He also says he has been wanting to form a "Leave alliance" for months, adding: "I still hope and pray it happens, but it doesn't look like it will."

Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson says PM Boris Johnson "only had himself to blame" for Britain failing to leave the EU on 31 October.

She tells Sky's Sophy Ridge the PM made a "stupid" "do or die" promise for Britain to leave the EU on 31 October "without actually planning how to do that".

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage tells the BBC's Andrew Marr he will not stand for election in the 12 December poll.

Scotland's first minister and the leader of the SNP Nicola Sturgeon says there is nothing "inevitable" about the "mess" Brexit has become.

She says - unlike the 2014 Scottish independence referendum - that in the Brexit referendum people were not making such an informed decision.

"The problem with Brexit is nobody was straight in advance of the referendum about what it meant," she tells Sky's Sophy Ridge.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tells Sky's Sophy Ridge that she wants a second referendum for Scottish independence next year so Scotland "can determine what kind of future we want" and "what kind of country we want to be".

The general election "really matters" as Scotland's future is on the line, she says..

She adds that she wants Scotland to be "open and welcome" with "fairness and equality at the heart of everything we do".

"I couldn't send a tweet to save my life," says former Conservative MP Ken Clarke, who was kicked out of the parliamentary party earlier this year.

Speaking about the abuse MPs get on social media, he says: "I think the difference is we're more accessible than we were", but the Father of the House adds that he himself doesn't use Twitter.

He says women specifically seem to get "abused horrendously" by anonymous people.

Asked what he will do with his retirement - he is not seeking re-election in December - he says he would be taking a "slightly amused, detached observation" of politics.
