Mr Price says his would deliver “the biggest programme of reconstruction our nation has seen for a generation".

He promises a national reconstruction fund to "rebuild Wales", including electrification of the nation's mainline rail lines and a "Crossrail for the Valleys".

In September 2019, Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price called on his party to campaign to cancel Brexit in a general election without the need for a second referendum.

Weeks later, the party's position shifted as party members adopted a different policy at their annual conference - support for a second EU referendum, unless faced with the prospect of a no-deal Brexit, in which case Plaid would revert to unilateral revocation of the Article 50 Brexit process.

In a bid to return as many pro-Remain MPs to Westminster, Plaid Cymru has struck an electoral pact with the Liberal Democrats and the Greens, but is not standing aside for Labour candidates, despite Jeremy Corbyn's promise of a second EU referendum.

That decision could make a difference in key Labour-Conservative marginal seats and, if that in turn helps Boris Johnson secure a majority in the House of Commons, then it's curtains for a second EU referendum.

Mr Price is now setting out his Plaid Cymru's policy on Brexit - the party is calling for another referendum to give people a "final say", where it would campaign to remain in the EU.

“To achieve positive change we must defeat the negative, hope-crushing wrecking ball that is Brexit," he says.

Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price is now beginning his speech in Coleg y Cymoedd, Nantgarw, where he is launching his party's manifesto.

He starts by saying that the election is taking place "to solve Boris's Brexit problem".

But he adds that Brexit is also "Wales' problem" and Plaid Cymru "will be on Wales' side".

Plaid Cymru's leader Adam Price will be launching his party's manifesto shortly.

The party, which had four MPs in the last Parliament, supports independence for Wales. But what else do they stand for?

BBC Question Time

A spirited exchange between a BBC Question Time audience member and Labour's Richard Burgon during last night's programme in Bolton has been viewed thousands of times on social media.

In a clash over tax, the man challenges Mr Burgon over Labour's plans to increase rates for the top 5% of earners to help pay for an additional £83bn of annual government spending by 2024.

The man repeatedly states that, despite earning over £80,000, he is "not in the top 5%".

But latest data from HMRC, external for 2016-17 shows that earning £75,300 before tax was enough to place someone in that bracket.

Known for both his oratory skills and his enthusiasm for novel ideas, Adam Price's aim is to replace Labour as the natural party of government in Wales, and ultimately to lead it to independence.

In his first year as leader of Plaid Cymru he has put that goal front and centre of the party's political platform, predicting a referendum on the issue would "definitely" be held by 2030.

He saw success in the European election in May, when Plaid came second to the Brexit Party, beating Labour in a Wales-wide poll for the first time.

The first openly-gay party leader in the Welsh Assembly, who became a father shortly before becoming leader, Mr Price was born in Carmarthenshire to a miner's family in 1968.

Here's some more from shadow chancellor John McDonnell's interview on the Today programme earlier, where he was also questioned on Labour's plans for workers rights.

Asked whether a Labour government would restore secondary picketing - where a picket line is set up at a firm not included in the main strike - Mr McDonnell said a Labour government would "make sure that people have the right to withdraw their labour" if they wish to do so.

Pushed on whether people could close down a school or hospital in sympathy with the rail unions, Mr McDonnell added: "People will have the right to withdraw their labour, but let's be absolutely clear, what we're doing now by these structural reforms is making sure everyone has a vested interest in their company or their public utility."

Secondary picketing - also known as solidarity action - was banned under Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in 1990.

This evening the leaders of the Conservatives, Labour, the SNP and the Liberal Democrats will face a live audience in a special BBC Question Time programme.

It is one of a series of debates on the BBC, ITV and Sky, as party leaders try to persuade the public of their vision for the UK.

So how will tonight's show work? Our guide explains the format, as well as the key issues the politicians could potentially trip up on.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has said Brexit should be the beginning of "real, fundamental change" as he attempts to re-brand his party's manifesto as a contract with voters.

Mr Farage tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme that "trust, faith and confidence" in politics has never been lower.

He says the public can trust him to deliver a clean-break from the EU as it is one promise he has kept for 25 years.

Challenged over the Brexit Party's pledge to cap immigration at a maximum of 50,000 people a year, Mr Farage says this would not include shorter-term work permits to fill vacancies, such as those in the NHS.

"What we do not want to have are open-door immigration policies where we have no control," he says, advocating an Australian-style points system now championed by the Conservatives.

From today Twitter no longer allows political advertising - it's the end of an era.

I’ve been monitoring the site since the start of election and have only spotted one advert for a political party (a Coservative ad that only ran for a few hours). But in the last week Remain groups have rushed to buy ads ahead of the ban.

Best For Britain is the most prolific with 11 ads in the last seven days. The prominent anti-Brexit group tells me they’ve spent £31k in since election started. They are well funded by donors small and large. They are also one of the biggest advertisers on Facebook/ Instagram too.

Obviously this is not the end of political campaigning on Twitter (imagine!). But it is the end of what was a small but significant part of modern electioneering. Will other big tech firms follow suit?

Earlier we heard from shadow chancellor John McDonnell on BBC Breakfast, defending Labour's plans to reverse corporation tax cuts and increase taxes on higher earners.

He's also been grilled on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, where he was asked whether Labour's policies could deter foreign investment in the UK.

In response Mr McDonnell insists Labour's taxation of businesses will be "competitive with the rest of the world".

“We’ll ensure that there’s long-term stable investment opportunities in this country, which actually international investors and companies are begging for at the moment," he tells the programme.

"We’ll have the infrastructure that they desperately need to ensure that their investment gives them a good rate of return.”

Conservative leader Boris Johnson has insisted he can complete a trade deal with the EU by December next year but what do those who will be on the other side of the negotiating table think?

Our Europe editor Katya Adler has been speaking to European diplomats who are, it is fair to say, less than convinced.

She reports that Brussels fears that 2020 could well be another year of uncertainty for EU and UK businesses - whether Labour or the Conservatives form a government. You can read her full report here.

Plaid Cymru are launching their manifesto "Wales, It's us" later. The document calls for Wales to stay in the European Union and puts forwards its key aims for Wales under the banner "Westminster does not work for Wales".

Our correspondents in Wales have been taking a look at some of the key promises the party is making - read their thoughts here.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak has also been speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme about the Conservative's promise to increase stamp duty in England for house buyers from abroad.

Pressed on whether the policy aims to deter overseas buyers from purchasing properties in the UK, Mr Sunak says this is not the case.

Instead he says the aim is to drive down house prices for people in the UK, helping them get on the housing ladder.

"We support the aspiration that almost everyone has to own their own home. What we’ve announced today is a policy that will help that," he tells the programme.

The Tories are focusing on housing again today, with a promise to force foreigners buying property in England to pay 3% more in stamp duty than UK residents.

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak says the policy aims boost home ownership and make housing more affordable, especially for first-time buyers.

“Today it’s the case that if you’re a foreign company or someone living overseas, it’s as easy to buy a property here as it is for someone who’s actually living here – we don’t think that’s right," he tells BBC Breakfast.
