Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the third day of the general election campaign.
After yesterday’s focus on the economy, the parties will be setting out some of their policies in other areas.
Here’s what we’re expecting today:
- The SNP are launching their general election campaign in Edinburgh, with a promise to bring forward legislation to protect the NHS from privatisation and future trade deals
- The prime minister will be visiting the East Midlands followed by north Wales, as the Conservatives say they will make it easier for doctors and nurses from abroad to work in the UK after Brexit
- Meanwhile, Labour is promising to transform the workplace for women, with policies including an increase in the length of statutory maternity pay
- Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage are also on the campaign trail
