Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab was called a "coward" by the friends and family of Harry Dunn as they were left outside of a hustings in his constituency yesterday.

Mr Raab is standing in Esher and Walton - you can read the full list of candidates for the seat here.

Harry Dunn, 19, died in a crash in Northamptonshire in August that led to the suspect leaving the UK claiming diplomatic immunity. You can read more about the background to his death here.

His family had hoped to put pressure on Mr Raab yesterday as he attended the event at a packed church in Surrey. A member of staff at East Molesey Methodist Church said they were kept out due to fire safety.

Signs calling for Harry's family and friends to be allowed to enter were held up against the church door, which was monitored by staff.

There were chants of "let us in" from more than 50 people who were left outside.

ITV News was there outside to capture some of what happened on camera.

Some of you will remember the name Sir Ivan Rogers - he was the UK's ambassador to the EU from 2013 to 2017.

Well, he has now described Boris Johnson's "Get Brexit done" election pledge as "diplomatic amateurism".

Mr Johnson is arguing he can take the UK out of the EU in January and negotiate a new trade deal with the EU by December 2020

Sir Ivan also said Labour's stance would "get the eye-rolling it deserves" in the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn, remember, promising to negotiate a new Brexit deal within three months, based on close alignment with the EU. This would then be put to the public in a legally binding referendum, alongside the option of staying in the EU.

Another rapper in the news again today is Stormzy. The grime artist, who has backed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn ahead of the general election, said in an Instagram post , externallast night that Boris Johnson was a "sinister man with a long record of lying".

Cabinet minister Michael Gove has responded to that criticism.

“I think we again know that Stormzy, when he took to the stage at Glastonbury wearing a stab vest, he made clear what his political views were then,” Mr Gove told Talk Radio, external.

“He is a far, far better rapper than he is a political analyst."

Wearing a Union Jack stab vest, Stormzy used his Glastonbury set this year to highlight inequality in the justice system and the arts.

There has been a late surge in the number of people registering to vote ahead of the deadline at midnight.

Yesterday there were more than 360,000 registrations, according to the government website, external that tracks registration, with more than 150,000 of those under the age of 25.

That beats the previous highest number during this election campaign of 308,000 - that came on Friday.

It's worth pointing out that an increase in applications is not firm evidence of an increase in the number of people able to vote. Previous elections have seen voter registration applications from people who are already registered or who are below the voting age.

BBC digital election reporter Joe Tidy says celebrities and campaign groups have been working hard to get people to register to vote on social media, which could have contributed to the high numbers.

Among those posting about it are rapper AJ Tracey.

Chuka Umunna, the Liberal Democrat's spokesman for foreign affairs, has called the Chief Rabbi's comments about anti-Semitism within Labour "unprecedented" and "devastating".

Mr Umunna has been a strong critic of Jeremy Corbyn and quit Labour in February.

He said the comments highlighted "that it is not normal to have a leader who has done a string of things that many would say amount to anti-Semitic conduct" and that under "any other circumstances a leader would have to resign" over the issue.

He said that the Liberal Democrats take "immediate action" when there are allegations of racism in the party, but that the problem within Labour is that they have "an ongoing problem with anti-Jewish hate and racism and it happens again, and again, and again".

Jeremy Corbyn says Labour is tackling anti-Semitism by expelling members found to have committed wrongdoing. He also insists he has spent his political career fighting against racism.

Boris Johnson has just boarded a flight to Scotland where the Tories are hoping to defend the 13 seats they won in 2017.

But some constituencies such as Stirling, Moray and Gordon are certainly looking dicey for the Conservatives.

Boris Johnson will also hope to make the odd gain north of the border, with Perth and Perthshire North top of his target list.

But his vow to “get Brexit done” is unlikely to have the same resonance in Remain-voting Scotland and it’s a pledge that has had hammering this morning from the former Tory grandee Lord Heseltine.

There is no love lost between the two ex-MPs for Henley, and Mr Johnson will try and swat away the peer’s criticism as that of a disgruntled Remainer.

But when a former Tory deputy prime minister attacks the current government’s Brexit policy as “utterly disastrous” and tells Tory voters to back the Liberal Democrats it won’t be easy to shrug off - and it highlights the huge unknown that will follow the UK’s formal departure from the EU next January if Mr Johnson gets his way.

The number of youth centres supported by local councils has more than halved since 2011, according to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Knife Crime.

Ahead of the general election, Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems have all pledged to invest in youth services if elected.

But why are youth centres so important? We visited Community Recording Studio on St Ann's estate in Nottingham to find out.

Fifty years ago, the way people voted in the UK was largely determined by social class, but different influences are at play in the 21st Century.

Back in the 1960s, political scientist Peter Pulzer famously stated that "class is the basis of British party politics; all else is embellishment and detail". People in middle-class jobs were more likely to vote Conservative, and the working class were more inclined to vote Labour. Any other differences were relatively unimportant.

The picture is now very different. The kind of job that someone does is expected to make very little difference to how they will vote at this election. On the other hand, whether they are young or old may matter a great deal.

It's going to be a busy day for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

As well as launching his party's race and faith manifesto, he will face some probing questions from both the BBC's Andrew Neil in the latest in a series of interviews he's doing with party leaders. You'll be able to watch that on BBC One at 19:00 and read about it here.

Mr Corbyn will also been getting a Facebook Live grilling from LADbible - the biggest UK publisher on Facebook.

It used to be all about Mumsnet for politicians during an election campaign, but it's perhaps unlikely LADbible will want to know Mr Corbyn's favourite biscuit. The time is still to be confirmed - and we're told Boris Johnson, Jo Swinson and Nicola Sturgeon are all lined up in the days to come.

With the launch of its race and faith manifesto, Labour wants to be seen as championing greater action on those issues.

It will, for example, outline measures it wants to take to help support the Jewish community including conducting an independent review into the threat posed by far-right extremism.

But there's no doubt the launch is going to be overshadowed by the Chief Rabbi's intervention.

At the same time, we have Lord Heseltine's extraordinary intervention.

He lost the Conservative Party whip earlier this year after he said he would vote Lib Dem, so in many ways maybe this wouldn’t be surprising.

But this is a general election, this is about who is going to run the country, and he is saying this morning that he doesn’t want to support a party that in his view - by pursuing Brexit - will make the country pooerer and will make it less influential across the world.

It's just the latest example of how Brexit has the ability to break apart traditional, long-standing party bonds.

To get you up to speed, here are the latest updates from the campaign trail:

• The UK's most senior Jewish leader - the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis - says Labour is not doing enough to root out anti-Jewish racism - arguing "a new poison - sanctioned from the very top - has taken root" in the party. But Labour peer Lord Dubs says the attack on Labour's anti-Semitism record went "a bit far" and the party is "now getting there" on the issue
• The rabbi's intervention comes just before Jeremy Corbyn launches his race and faith manifesto. Under a Labour government, children would learn about injustice and the role of the British Empire as part of the national curriculum
• In another eye-catching intervention, former Conservative deputy PM Lord Heseltine urges members of his party to vote for the Lib Dems, or former Tory MPs standing as Independents. Cabinet minister Michael Gove says he "feels a certain sense of sadness" at those remarks
• The Tories will launch their Scottsh manifesto later
• Elsewhere, relative child poverty risks reaching a 60-year high of 34% under the Conservative Party's plans for benefits, according to a new report by the Resolution Foundation. But a Tory spokesman insists the party is committed to reducing poverty

• Nicola Sturgeon insists Scotland could rejoin the EU "relatively quickly"if Brexit happens and there is another independence referendum

• Plaid Cymru's Adam Price strikes a similiar tone, saying he wants Wales to rejoin the EU as an independent countryif the UK leaves

• And the deadline for registering to vote is midnight tonight. Find out more about how to do it

Here is another reminder that if you want to register to vote in the 12 December election, the deadline is midnight.

If you want to apply to vote by post - and live in England, Scotland or Wales - you only have until 17:00 GMT to do so.

Here are all details about how to vote, and answers to other questions you may have.

Labour peer Lord Dubs, former head of the Refugee Council, says the Chief Rabbi’s attack on Labour over its anti-Semitism record has "gone a bit far".

He says Labour’s race and faith manifesto, which it is launching today, is going “a long way to meeting some of the criticisms the Jewish community has”.

Lord Dubs says Labour was “much too slow in getting to grips with this” and he’s been critical of the party in the past, but he feels it is “now getting there”.

Jeremy Corbyn isn’t anti-Semitic, he says, and has been “personally hurt” by the accusations, although Labour has been slow to deal with the issues under his leadership.

Asked what he would say to Jews who fear for their future if Mr Corbyn becomes PM, Lord Dubs adds: “You do not have to fear. Many of us in the Labour Party will ensure there is no fear for you, and we respect your concerns, but let’s move forward.”

A quick add to the mention we made earlier of the Resolution Foundation's report on child poverty and the political parties' plans.

Interestingly, the think tank says the Lib Dems and Labour are offering similar in spending terms "and in many of the specific policies proposed".

But the Lib Dems' social security pledges are slightly more progressive than Labour's and would see 600,000 fewer children in poverty than there would be under Conservative plans, the foundation said.

"Either the Labour or Liberal Democrat approach could be expected to halt potential increases in relative child poverty over the next parliament, but under none of these plans does child poverty actually fall," the foundation adds.

• Key policies in the Lib Dem manifesto

This anti-Semitism row has been going on since 2016. The criticism that the party was not fast enough to deal with it initially has been pervasive.

For some people in the Labour Party - including a small but very vocal group and some Jewish people themselves - they completely reject the idea that anti-Semitism has been allowed to have any space within their ranks.

But at the very least, the ability of the party to close it down has been, it seems, limited - it’s been a huge political distraction.

And the very cold reality is Labour candidates on the ground tell me there are some seats around the country that they desperately need but may not hold onto because of alarm in the Jewish community

From one part of the UK to another. In Belfast, an intense election race is being run in a city where competing narratives clash and communities remain divided.

It's said that Saint David, whose cathedral stands in Preseli, told us to remember the little things, and certainly this is a seat noted for small majorities.

There were just 314 votes separating the Conservative and Labour candidates here last time and this election is certain to be hard fought.

The seat has been represented by only two MPs since its creation in 1997 and has been in Conservative hands since 2005. A Labour victory here would be a major blow for the Conservatives in Wales.

Both the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru held Ceredigion and North Pembrokeshire, one of Preseli Pembrokeshire's predecessor seats, but neither party has made a mark here since the boundaries were re-drawn.

Earlier, we heard from crossbench peer, Rabbi Julia Neuberger, who gave her views on how Labour has been dealing with anti-Semitism.

She said that if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister, many Jews “will feel increasingly uncomfortable and will look for ways of either moving or having a place somewhere else… to mitigate what feels oppressive, uncomfortable, dangerous".

She says it’s been a “gradual process” since he became leader - “there has been this insidious anti-Semitism tone…and unwillingness at the top to really face it”.

“If Jews are feeling unconformable, if Muslims are supporting the Jewish community as they are, there is something about the licensing of racism that should make people stop for a minute and say ‘this can’t be right, this can’t go on.’”

Mr Corbyn insists he has fought racism all his life and in his race and faith manifesto - launched today - will set out more steps his party plans to take.

Cabinet minister Michael Gove says he “feel a certain sense of sadness” that Lord Heseltine is advocating voting for the Lib Dems because he is a“great admirer” of the former deputy PM.

He says the “one area where I respectfully disagree” with Lord Heseltine is on Europe - the peer has consistently said he supports the Lib Dems’ anti-Brexit stance.

Mr Gove - pictured here on Sunday - says: "I think that the most important thing at this general election is the choice between the two alternative prime ministers - Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.

"And I think that Boris would undoubtedly ensure that we got Brexit done and avoid the dangers of two referendums, whereas Jeremy Corbyn, as we know by the words of the Chief Rabbi today, poses a threat to more than just our economy."

Using a boxing analogy for Brexit, he says: "We can have this bout over in just a very short period of time if we elect Boris Johnson because he has defied the critics and cynics in making sure that we could get a withdrawal agreement."

Asked whether the PM could agree a trade deal before December 2020 - something some European officials have said is impossible - Mr Gove says that by getting a withdrawal agreement the PM has already demonstrated that a lot of “the fashionable opinion” is wrong.

Here's some background to the PM's withdrawal agreement. And here is our Europe editor's take on the Tories' super-speedy timetable for a trade deal.
