He pledges to rebuild the NHS, solve the housing crisis and create jobs through a "green industrial revolution".

Away from campaign launches, Jacob Rees-Mogg has been criticised for suggesting it was "common sense" for residents to flee the Grenfell Tower, ignoring fire brigade advice.

The Leader of the House of Commons was appearing on a radio phone-in on the findings of the Grenfell inquiry report when he made the comments.

Seventy-two people died when a fire ripped through the tower block on 14 June 2017.

The Grenfell United group called the MP's comments "insulting".

Mr Rees-Mogg said he "profoundly apologised".

Mr Corbyn says Labour is appealing to both sides on Brexit - Remain and Leave voters.

Rather than standing for the 52% or the 48%, he says Labour "stands for the 99%" and will "bring people together".

Mr Corbyn says the Conservatives have "failed on Brexit for three years" and Labour will "get Brexit sorted" within six months, if he becomes PM.

He says Labour will negotiate a "sensible" Brexit deal, then give the public "a final say" through another referendum.

“It won’t be a re-run of 2016," he says. "This time the choice will be leaving with a sensible deal or remaining in the EU.”

Mr Corbyn says the prime minister's Brexit deal will lead to a "race to the bottom" on workers' rights and product standards and "move us towards a more deregulated American model".

It will lead to "Thatcherism on steroids", he adds.

Mr Corbyn accuses Boris Johnson of "hijacking Brexit to sell out our NHS".

The Labour leader says government plans for a post-Brexit trade deal with the US could see an extra £500m a week spent on buying medicines.

"We now know that US and UK officials have been discussing drug pricing in secret and the US government is demanding full market access for US products," he says.

Senior NHS managers have said that would mean "higher prices for medicines" which will "pass on costs to both patients and the NHS," he adds.

"Our NHS is not for sale," he says, prompting applause from the audience and chants of "not for sale".

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is now making a speech in Harlow, Essex.

He is expected to set out his party's position on leaving the European Union and accuse the prime minister of trying to "hijack Brexit to sell out our NHS".

The general election could be "a moment for seismic change", when "a new and different politics" emerges, Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has said.

In a speech at the party's campaign launch, she said she could do "a better job" than either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister.

In response, the Conservatives said a vote for the Lib Dems "risks putting" Mr Corbyn into Downing Street.

Ms Swinson also criticised US President Donald Trump in her speech, unfavourably comparing him to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Asked whether she would still work with Mr Trump if she became prime minister, she says: “I wouldn’t refuse to engage with Donald Trump."

However, she says there's a "big difference between having a relationship" and "rolling out the red carpet", which she accuses the Conservative government of doing.

She adds that Mr Trump "stands in fundamental opposition to our values" and criticises his comments about women and minorities.

Back at the Lib Dem campaign launch, Ms Swinson says she will not help Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn become prime minister - should the election result not be clear-cut.

"i'm absolutely categorically ruling out Lib Dem votes putting Jeremy Corbyn into No 10," she says.

She accuses him of being "unfit to be prime minister" and of not giving "a straight answer on Brexit".

"His plans for the economy would take us back to the 1970s," she adds.

She also criticises the Labour leader for his "utter failure to root out anti-Semitism in his own party".

Jacob Rees-Mogg has apologised for remarks he made this morning about the Grenfell fire.

Speaking on LBC, he told the presenter.

""I think if either of us were in a fire, whatever the fire brigade said, we would leave the burning building.

"It just seems the common sense thing to do, and it is such a tragedy that that didn't happen."

He has now apologised.

Ms Swinson says there must be a "Remain voice" in election TV debates.

The Lib Dems have made a formal complaint after ITV said its head-to-head election debate would only include Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.

“It is ridiculous to suggest the country is well-served by a debate between two men who want to leave the European Union, squabbling about how they’ll do it," she says.

Elsewhere, Cabinet minister Michael Gove has rejected claims the government is suppressing a report on alleged Russian interference in UK democracy until after the general election.

Sources said No 10 was stalling on releasing the report, which had gained the standard security clearance.

Former head of MI5, Lord Evans of Weardale, is among those calling for the document to be released.

Mr Gove said the report was "going through appropriate procedures".

Reality Check

Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson has said cancelling Brexit will give the government an extra £50bn to spend over five years.

Reality Check correspondent Chris Morris says: the vast majority of forecasts do expect the economy would be bigger if the UK were to stay in the EU.

The independent Institute for Fiscal Studies says this forecast is reasonable. But it can't be predicted with any certainty, and it's not a hugely significant amount in terms of overall government expenditure.

"A vote for Labour is a vote for Brexit" and Remainers "cannot trust Jeremy Corbyn", Ms Swinson says.

In contrast, the Lib Dems are pledging to stop Brexit, she adds.
