Saturday on the campaign trail: A recappublished at 17:20 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2019
In three words, it was quiet. Before we take a pause for today, here's a recap of how this Saturday on the election campaign unfolded:
- Interestingly enough, the big news of the day happened yesterday. In the BBC Question Time leaders' special, Jeremy Corbyn said he would adopt a neutral position in a future Brexit referendum if Labour comes to power. Watch the highlights
- Reacting this morning, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the Labour leader "decided to be indecisive" with his stance while Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson said it showed a "total absence of leadership"
- Corbyn defended his position, saying it showed "a sign of strength" and "maturity". Read more here
- Away from Brexit, Corbyn unveiled Labour's Youth Manifesto at a rally in Loughborough, promising to give 16-year-olds the right to vote and an end to tuition fees
- Earlier, during a visit to an Amazon depot in Sheffield, he promised to end zero-hours contracts
- Meanwhile, the Conservatives have pledged to put an extra £83m a year into dementia research over the next decade. We have more on that too
Tomorrow promises to be busier with the Conservative Party launching their manifesto in the afternoon.
