On the BBC News Channel right now is an election debate hosted by BBC Wales in Pembrokeshire.

Representatives from Labour, the Conservative Party, the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Brexit Party are tackling questions from members of the public. First up is Emily Hale, who asks how do we know the parties will deliver what they promise on Brexit?

Conservative David TC Davies says every Tory MP will back Mr Johnson's deal. "We can easily do this in a year, let's have some confidence in Britain," he says.

Labour's Nia Griffith says the party will negotiate a better deal for farmers and says the UK needs to be very sure it gets the right outcome as it will feel the impact "for many years to come".

Lib Dem Jane Dodds says her party is being very honest about its Brexit position. "We are going to be able to stop Brexit overnight if you vote for the Liberal Democrats," she says.

The Brexit Party's James Wells questions whether voters can trust Boris Johnson after he pledged to leave "do or die" on 31 October. But he says his party will work with the Tories to deliver Brexit.

Liz Saville-Roberts from Plaid Cymru attacks Jeremy Corbyn's decision to remain neutral in any future referendum on Brexit, saying: "You cannot be neutral about Brexit, this is the great crisis, the great urgency of our time."

BBC Wales is hosting an election debate in the Pembrokeshire County Showground.

The panel includes: Nia Griffith from Labour, the Conservatives' David Davies, Jane Dodds who represents the Liberal Democrats, Liz Saville-Roberts from Plaid Cymru and the Brexit Party's James Wells.

Preseli Pembrokeshire in Wales is one of the the most marginal constuency in the country.

Although the Conservatives have held the seat since 2005, Tory Stephen Crabb was only elected by a margin of 314 votes at the 2017 general election.

The BBC has been speaking to voters about how they feel ahead of the 12 December poll.

Mr Crabb is standing again for the Conservatives, Philippa Thompson for Labour, Thomas Hughes from the Liberal Democrats and Cris Tomos of Plaid Cymru.

The chair of Jewish Labour Movement, Mike Katz, has responded to Jeremy Corbyn's interview with Andrew Neil, saying: "Sorry really does seem to be the hardest word."

He posted a clip of Mr Neil asking four times without success if Mr Corbyn would apologise to British Jews. adding the comment: "Woeful."

Police are investigating after a Liberal Democrat candidate received a threat to burn down her house.

Hannah Perkin says the threat - written on the back of a campaign leaflet - was "intimidating" and "scary".

The candidate for Faversham and Mid Kent says the vitriolic language facing candidates is linked to "rhetoric" used by politicians in Parliament.

Kent Police says it is working to establish if any criminal offences had been committed.

Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has won a court bid to ban an SNP leaflet which accuses her of accepting a £14,000 donation from a fracking company.

Ms Swinson asked the Court of Session in Edinburgh to stop Royal Mail from distributing the leaflet for the SNP in her East Dunbartonshire constituency.

The SNP argued there was no "substantial untruth" in the leaflet, but Lord Pentland said a statement on it was false in substance, materially inaccurate and defamatory.

An election candidate has been criticised after apparently being caught out setting up a door knock while canvassing in Nottinghamshire.

Lee Anderson, Conservative candidate for Ashfield, was seemingly caught on a TV microphone arranging to call at a supporter's house.

Full Fact, the political fact-checking site, said such tactics "damage voter confidence in our political system".

Mr Anderson and the Conservative Party have not responded to the BBC.

On social media, several viewers of Andrew Neil's interview with the Labour leader felt that Mr Corbyn seemed to struggle with the detail under tough questioning.

But some supporters said he showed "self-control" amid constant interruptions and suggested that demanding an apology to the Jewish community was unfair.

That's all from Jeremy Corbyn's interview with Andrew Neil.

There’s genuine concern among some members of the Muslim community about elements within the Tory party.

And some of the other political parties have also had to get rid of some of the candidates they were hoping to stand in this election because of offensive remarks they’ve made in the past that have been uncovered.

But this does feel like it is of a different order.

First of all, religious leaders try extremely hard to stay beyond the political fray.

For the chief rabbi to feel that he had no choice but to intervene in such a dramatic way is something that we simply can’t find another example of in recent political history.

Second, whatever you make of the concerns that are being expressed, this is a problem that the Labour Party has been dealing with for a long time now since Jeremy Corbyn has been in charge.

Although he always says he takes this extremely seriously and he’s doing as much as he possibly can to stamp it out in the party, he just has not been able to close it down.

For many voters, that may well raise a question mark about his ability to take a firm grip of issues that are tricky and challenging.

Referring to General Galtieri during the Falklands War and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Neil asks why the Labour leader gives "Britain's enemies the doubt" and "rarely has time" for our allies?

"As a government, we would be concerned with peace, justice and human rights," says Mr Corbyn. "We wouldn’t be selling arms to Saudi Arabia so it can bomb Yemen."

He suggests the government should look "seriously" at the alliances the UK has and says the greatest threats to security are issues like climate change.

When Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed by US forces last month, Mr Corbyn said he should have been arrested "if possible". Mr Neil asks if he would give the order to kill in similar circumstances?

"I will take the appropriate decision at the appropriate time," he says, but says it is a "hypothetical question" and a "hypothetical scenario".

"I think we also have to look at how we created these dangers," Mr Corbyn says.

Calling time on the interview, Mr Neil then thanks Mr Corbyn for his time.

Listing some of Labour's planned investments that will be funded by borrowing, Mr Neil asks: "Is there no limit to what can go on the Corbyn credit card?"

The Labour leader suggests that with the privatisation plans "ultimately it becomes cost neutral", because the government will gain the revenues from the companies.

"We are not going to willy-nilly borrow," he says, saying they want to tackle the worst aspects of poverty and austerity.

Adding the extra £58bn of spending to compensate "Waspi women" - those born in the 1950s who lost out when the state pension age was raised - is a "moral case" because they were "shortchanged by the government".

He says it could be paid through reserves over several years, but admits current reserves are "nowhere near" enough.

You can read analysis on Labour's promises to the Waspi women from the BBC Reality Check team here.

Mr Corbyn is challenged on his party's pledge that only people earning over £80,000 will pay more in tax.

Mr Neil gives the example of couples losing the £250 marriage allowance or a low-income pensioner who receives £2,000 in income from dividends, who would see their tax bill for that rise from £9 to £400.

"We have to do something about the under-funding of our public services and the poverty and austerity," says Mr Corbyn. "Strangely you haven’t asked any questions about poverty and austerity."

Asked if high earners would leave the country and cause the tax base to crumble, Mr Corbyn says: "We think they could and should pay a little bit more."

He says they would recognise that tax rates are low, their wealth has risen "enormously" and "they can see all around them the crumbling of public services and the terrible levels of child poverty that exist across Britain".

Brexit is the next topic. With Labour planning to negotiate a new deal and put it to a referendum, Mr Neil asks why he would want to remain neutral in that vote?

Mr Corbyn says: "I will be the honest broker that will make sure the referendum is fair and make sure that the Leave deal is a credible one and the Remain option is alongside it so we can protect jobs, trade relationships and crucially the good Friday agreement."

What would you do during the referendum campaign - go on holiday? asks Mr Neil.

Mr Corbyn says he would be running the government but does not know who would lead the campaign for his Leave deal.

"What does the Prime Minister Boris Johnson offer other than a sweetheart deal with the USA and all the problems that brings to our public services? He's offering to take a side with Donald Trump and the USA," he says.

A series of cases are put to Mr Corbyn: a member who says that "Rothschild Zionists run Israel and world government" who has not been suspended after a year, and a member who posted a video denying six million jews died in the Holocaust and was given a warning.

Mr Corbyn says both examples are anti-Semitic. "Denying the Holocaust is appalling and totally wrong. It’s not acceptable in any way," he says.

He says he has strengthened the process in recent months to ensure such cases are dealt with better.

But Mr Neil asks him if he is ashamed that British Jews fear him getting into Downing Street?

"We will not allow anti-Semitism in any form in our society, because it is poisonous and divisive just as much as Islamophobia and far-right racism is," he says.

Asked four times if he would like to apologise to the British Jewish community, he does not take the opportunity.

On the day when the chief rabbi accused Jeremy Corbyn of contributing to the "poison" of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, Andrew Neil begins tonight's interview by putting the allegations to the Labour leader.

"I’m looking forward to having a discussion with him because I want to hear why he would say such a thing," Mr Corbyn says.

He says the problem "didn't arise when I became leader" and says they have taken action over the "small number" of anti-Semitic members.

But asked about the chief rabbi's claim that it is a "mendacious fiction" for Labour to say it has investigated all allegations, Mr Corbyn says: "He’s not right. He would have to produce the evidence to say that’s mendacious."

Jeremy Corbyn's interview on BBC One is coming up in 15 minutes. Here's a quick look back at his journey to becoming the potential next prime minister.

Early life

Born in 1949 in Chippenham, Wiltshire, Mr Corbyn is the son of a teacher and an electrical engineer who met at an event in support of Republicans in the Spanish Civil War.

He was educated at Adams’ Grammar School in Shropshire and joined the Labour Party as a teenager.

After travelling abroad in Latin America, he became a union official in 1971 and a Labour councillor in Haringey, north London, in 1974.

Political career

Mr Corbyn was elected as MP for Islington North in 1983, becoming part of a group of radical MPs that confronted Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government whenever they could.

He championed the cause of the wrongly convicted Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six but was criticised by Labour leader Neil Kinnock for inviting convicted IRA volunteers to the House of Commons just weeks after the Brighton bombing.

Under Tony Blair’s government, he rebelled 533 times.

As Labour leader

His election as party leader was as unexpected as it was decisive, as the perennial backbencher gained more votes than his three opponents put together.

But critics within his party believed he was both too weak and too radical, and he faced a leadership challenge a year later.

The result was no different, and Mr Corbyn led the party into the 2017 election. He proved a more natural campaigner than Theresa May and surprised his own party with a 40% vote share.

Earlier today, the prime minister was in Scotland to launch the Scottish Conservative manifesto ahead of the election on 12 December.

BBC Radio 5 Live is broadcasting live from Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire tonight.

It's a historic fishing area, and reporter Rory Carson has been speaking to local people down the road in the Port of Fishguard.

Nerys is a shellfish exporter - her team has just a couple of hours to get all the shellfish processed before the lorry starts its journey to Spain and to the restaurants where it’ll end up.

Nerys says she initially had problems getting the paperwork ready for Brexit, but adds: "That’s all in hand now, I’ve done everything I can to make sure my fishermen are safe – as one of my fishermen said, they love our produce; Wales, Scotland, Ireland we just have the best shellfish, it’s amazing... hopefully we’ll continue to work together for all the different things we import and export.”

Nerys would like to see a future for the fishing industry: "It would be nice to have a good quota that our fleet isn't just using but could grow into. So it’s ring fenced but even if we don’t use it, we're conserving anyway."

Steve has been fishing for 25 years. “We’re netting at the minute for crayfish," he says.

“Everything was easier when I started, it’s got harder and harder… just the way of the world."

Steve says he does have concerns about Brexit: “It’s very worrying, it’ll be what it’ll be. It’s going to be one or the other, it’s either going to work out for us or not.”
