Katya Adler, the BBC's Europe editor had written a detailed Twitter thread on how Boris Johnson's claim that a trade deal could be secured by the end of 2020 is viewed by EU officials:

Jeremy Corbyn got a standing ovation during the manifesto launch when he confirmed that a Labour government would scrap university tuition fees.

But two things should be noted: the speech took place at Birmingham City University with a fair few students in the audience and his party have not yet pledged to write off existing student debts like the Green Party has.

In the Q&A session after his speech, he was asked by one student what he would do for graduates who had already accrued huge amounts of debt from paying £9,000 a year in university fees.

This morning, shadow education secretary Angela Rayner had said Labour would "look at" this issue if it wins power - and Mr Corbyn was similarly vague in his answer.

He said the "reality" was a lot of this debt is never repaid and criticised the Tories for raising interest rates on student debt.

Mr Corbyn added: “We are looking at ways in which we can stabilise it, in which we can bring about some relief for those who have incurred an enormous debt at university.”

Some more responses to Labour's manifesto from the other parties.

The Conservatives have focused on their claim, rejected by Labour, that the proposals will mean a higher tax bill for the average taxpayer.

BBC Reality Check has previously examined this claim and said it is based on the Tories' assumptions not only on how much Labour intends to spend but also on how much revenue Labour intends to raise.

Meanwhile the SNP and Greens have attacked Labour over its commitment to renewing the Trident nuclear deterrent and for not promising to maintain freedom of movement for EU nationals:

On the proposed third runway at Heathrow, BBC News political reporter Peter Saull suggests that it "seems it could go either way under Labour".

The manifesto says:, external "Any expansion of airports must pass our tests on air quality, noise pollution, climate change obligations and countrywide benefits.

"We will examine fiscal and regulatory options to ensure a response to the climate crisis in a way that is fair to consumers and protects the economy."

Earlier, before the manifesto was launched, Labour gave us a glimpse of one of the pledges in the manifesto: a windfall tax on oil firms.

But there were fears among some trade union officials that the windfall tax - which is a type of tax levied on an organisation considered to have made excessive profits - could damage Scotland's North Sea oil industry.

There's not that much more about the plan contained in the manifesto, which says: "We will introduce a windfall tax on oil companies, so that the companies that knowingly damaged our climate will help cover the costs."

But it does promise "a strategy to safeguard the people, jobs and skills that depend on the offshore oil and gas industry".

Page 81 of the Labour manifesto has a plan for those red benches. Getting rid of them. But perhaps not straight away when you look at how the promise is written:

"We will act immediately to end the hereditary principle in the House of Lords, and work to abolish the House of Lords in favour of Labour’s preferred option of an elected Senate of the Nations and Regions."

Some of Labour's education policies have already been previewed, but here's what has become official in the 2019 manifesto:, external

• Maximum class sizes of 30 for all primary school children
• Funding for more non-contact time for teachers to prepare and plan for lessons
• Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs and baseline assessments will be scrapped. Instead, assessment will be refocused on "supporting pupil progress"
• In terms of the curriculum, that would be reviewed to make sure it "enriches students" and also covers subjects such as black history and the Holocaust. Pupils will learn about climate change and a so-called Arts Pupil Premium will be created "to fund arts education for every primary school child"
• The responsibility for delivering education "will sit with local authorities", with councils overseeing school places and having the power to open schools
• Free schools and academies brought "back under the control of the people who know best - parents, teachers and local communities"
• All schools will have to follow a common rulebook
• Ofsted would be replaced and inspections would be carried out by a new body
• Meanwhile, private schools would not be immediately scrapped. Instead Labour would "close tax loopholes enjoyed by elite private schools and use that money to improve the lives of all children" and ask the Social Justice Commission to advise on "integrating private schools and creating a comprehensive education system"
• A new teacher supply service would be created, rather than relying on private supply teacher agencies
• Schools would be made accountable for the outcomes of pupils who leave their rolls
• Free school meals for all primary school children

Like many journalists, we're still reading through the manifesto, so we will continue to bring you news of the remaining pledges that have not yet been mentioned.

More crucially, we will start reporting some of the reaction to the proposals - and analysis from our correpondents on how the plans might work should Labour win power next month.

Put a journalist in front of a politician and he or she will invariably ask them about the biggest news issue of the day. So it was no surprise that Jeremy Corbyn was quizzed about his views on Prince Andrew, even though it is clearly not Labour manifesto territory.

As he did during the ITV election debate, Mr Corbyn requested that the focus should primarily be on Jeffrey Epstein's victims.

Asked whether the prince should voluntarily give evidence to US investigators who are looking into Mr Epstein's crimes, he added that "nobody is above the law".

Jeremy Corbyn's opponents love to claim that he isn't patriotic. They often put it more bluntly: that he hates his country.

He's now trying to define patriotism in his own terms: "Patriotism is about supporting each other, not attacking somebody else," he says.

Challenged over whether Labour would support another Scottish independence referendum, Mr Corbyn says: "it is absolutely not our priority".

Instead he says Labour's priority in Scotland would be "dealing with levels of poverty and inequality".

He says Labour would be best placed to address these issues because of the investment the party would deliver, including £100bn investment in Scotland.

"Labour will restore public sector pay to at least pre-financial crisis levels (in real terms), by delivering year-on-year above-inflation pay rises, starting with a 5% increase, to reward and retain the people who do so much for us all," says Labour's manifesto., external

This 5% rise would mean a £1,200 rise for nurses and an average rise of £1,600, says the BBC's Norman Smith.

The UK's nuclear weaponry would stay under a Labour government - as page 101 of the manifesto makes unambiguously clear.

"Labour supports the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent," it reads.

This is from a party whose leader is a life-long advocate of nuclear disarmament. And so the next sentence reads: "Labour will also actively lead multilateral efforts under our obligations to the Non-Proliferation Treaty to create a nuclear-free world."

But the first sentence rather trumps the second.

Some of the other parties have already started responding to Labour's manifesto launch on Twitter. There's been a variety of approaches.

From emojis:

To puppets:

While the SNP have gone for a more sober response, saying that Labour "only talk about change":

The crowd at the manifesto launch in Birmingham cheered as Mr Corbyn announced that university tuition fees would be abolished under a Labour government.

"Labour will end the failed free-market experiment in higher education, abolish tuition fees and bring back maintenance grants," the manifesto says., external

But, as BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith points out, Labour is not pledging to write off existing student debts.

The Green Party has already gone further than Labour and said it would write off previously-accrued student tuition fee debt if it was in government.

The manifesto rather rams home what has been obvious since the start of this campaign: Labour is more comfortable talking about stuff other than Brexit. Four pages out of 105, and towards the back of the book.

Back to Laura Kuenssberg's question for Mr Corbyn.

Given that Labour's manifesto is even more radical than its previous one for the 2017 general election - when the party did not achieve a majority - Laura Kuenssberg asks why Mr Corbyn believes the country wants much bigger spending.

Mr Corbyn replies: "Yes it is a radical manifesto but when you travel around this country and talk to people, radical answers are necessary."

He says issues including the mental health crisis, people in work relying on food banks and over-sized classes require a radical solution.
