The last week of the election continues:

• John McDonnell is currently taking questions following a speech where he promised to end austerity in the first 100 days of a Labour government. He urged voters not to "believe the doubters" - insisting the "radical" programme he's put forward can be delivered
• Jo Swinson appeared on 5 Live Breakfast this morning to answers questions from the public in the latest in a series of special phone-ins with party leaders. She was grilled on variety of issues, from the party's position on Brexit to her views on rights for trans people.
• Politicians from all parties have been answering questions from undecided voters on Victoria Derbyshire. , externalIt's part of a whole day of broadcasts from Crewe, one of the key marginals in this election.
• The BBC will hold a special debate involving younger voters later - the programme is hosted by Emma Barnett and starts at 20:30 GMT.
• Boris Johnson is campaigning in Leave-voting seats currently held by Labour, but he's faced questions over his claims about customs checks between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. BBC Reality Check correspondent Chris Morris says he's wrong to claim there will no checks in either direction because that claim runs counter to what is written in his own withdrawal agreement.

We then move on to questions from journalists to John McDonnell. First up is BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith, who asks how Labour will win over middle-income voters who are not traditional Labour supporters through its radical agenda.

“Our agenda is radical because people are demanding radical change… right across the classes," Mr McDonnell says.

He argues that people from all different backgrounds want to live in a safe society, with a strong NHS and education system.

He says Labour is also the only party which would tackle the "existential threat" of the climate emergency.

Our assistant political editor also sees a trend in the speech and the answers Mr McDonnell is giving this morning...

Victoria Derbyshire

The 40 undecided voters are now focusing on the crucial, complex issue of social care - how we fund personal care for older people and people with disabilities.

The Conservative Nigel Evans' key message is that nobody should have to sell their property to care for themselves.

He says his party is pledging £1bn a year extra straight away for social care but recognises it is not sufficient, adding that a "solution" has to be found in the long-term.

He doesn't think Brexit is a threat to NHS and social care services, saying that free movement puts "demand on services".

Labour's Angela Rayner says it's the issue of social care that "got me involved in politics in the first place".

Labour is promising free personal care so that people can be supported in their own homes, which she says would save money for the health service.

The party announced yesterday that it wants to invest £10bn of additional funding for social care in England by 2023/24.

The shadow chancellor finishes his speech with a flourish and then moves on to taking questions.

As we just mentioned Tom Newton Dunn from the Sun, it's worth taking a moment to point out some of the newspapers and magazines who've started making endorsements and advising their readers what way they should vote in the election.

Backing the Conservatives so far we have the Sun, external, the Sun on Sunday, external, the Spectator, external, the Express, external, the Sunday Express, external, the Sunday Telegraph, external and the Sunday Times, external.

Giving their support to Labour are the Daily Mirror, external, the Sunday Mirror , externaland the Morning Star., external

While the Lib Dems have received the endorsement of The Economist, external.

Other publications have declined to endorse a specific party but have advised voters to use their vote tactically. The Observer has encouraged, external its readers to vote for the candidate most likely to prevent a Conservative majority and Boris Johnson as prime minister, and while saying they won't endorse candidates The Jewish Chronicle has said, external that they want to ensure that Jeremy Corbyn does not become prime minister.

The Financial Times has advised, external voters to support candidates in line with the paper's values, regardless of party affiliation.

Finally the New Statesman, external declined to endorse any party or candidate.

Win, lose or stumble, the new directions of the Tories and Labour could change the whole map for good.

The BBC's political editor looks at the gambles being taken in this campaign.

More from John McDonnell on what he says is Labour's second priority - giving power back to citizens by nationalising utilities.

The boards of these companies would be made up of customers, workers, representatives from local councils and metro mayors, he says.

"We'll make sure decisions are taken locally by those who understand the services - those who use them and deliver them," he adds.

Labour would also create new People's Assemblies so ordinary citizens can participate in how new public utilities are run, Mr McDonnell says.

The BBC's assistant political editor is watching and picking out interesting lines like this one...

Mr McDonnell is now setting out Labour's aims for its first 100 days in government.

He says the party's "number one priority" would be to deliver a "green industrial revolution" and "bring prosperity to every part of the country".

Mr McDonnell says his party's plans would “put power and wealth into the hands of those who create it” and move money "out of the City and out of Whitehall into the places it’s needed".

"Don’t be fooled by the doubters who say our plans are unachievable," he goes on.

People's sense of what's possible has been “dulled” by decades of belief in the markets above all else, he argues.

But under Labour "we will remake the government and what people expect of it".

That will include creating new nationalised institutions - like utility companies - that people "will come to cherish like the NHS".

BBC Reality Check has looked at how much Labour's nationalisation plans could cost - read their analysis here.

Victoria Derbyshire

Undecided voters are questioning the panel on why, in this election, there have been some - to put it politely - "misleading statements" or "alternative facts".

The SNP's Ben Macpherson thinks the current public discourse demands "very immediate pieces of information" rather than creating the space for politicians to discuss issues.

And he defends the SNP's record, saying: "We seek to be upfront and honest in what we do."

The BBC's Chris Mason notes that he's pushed hard on his party's domestic performance.

Watch Ben Macpherson make his pitch to undecided voters...

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell begins his speech by saying Labour's plan for government is the “most inspiring manifesto of any election I’ve ever stood in”.

He says his party has "won the debate" over austerity, arguing that Boris Johnson has admitted the policy was wrong.

However, Mr McDonnell says that in reality austerity would continue under the Tories, with the IFS think tank declaring that it is "baked in" to the Tory manifesto.

We're expecting a speech from shadow chancellor John McDonnell soon, where he will set out Labour's priority for its first 100 days in government.

We'll bring you all the latest updates and analysis.

Victoria Derbyshire

Earlier, we heard from undecided voter Amelia, who is applying to university next year and is worried about how much this will cost her.

She asks the Lib Dems' Wera Hobhouse what her party would do to address this issue.

Ms Hobhouse says the Lib Dems would reinstate maintenance grants for students from lower income backgrounds - these were scrapped under the Conservatives in 2016.

She says the interest paid by graduates on their tuition fee loans is also a problem. "That has to stop," she argues.

However, Ms Hobhouse points out that 50% of young people don't go to university and the Lib Dems would not scrap tuition fees completely - as Labour has promised to do - because those who do not receive a university education and never go into a high paid job should not pay for those who do.

Amelia challenges Ms Hobhouse over whether the Lib Dems can be trusted to deliver their pledges, given that the party broke its promise to oppose increasing student tuition fees when it was in coalition with the Conservatives.

“We were in a coalition government… we were the smaller partner there," Ms Hobhouse replies.

“[Former Lib Dem leader] Nick Clegg has apologised for that - that he couldn’t see that promise through.

"And that happens in politics - a lot of promises are not seen through.”

Watch Wera Hobhouse's pitch here...

Peter, who says he's "nearly 80", is deeply weary about the state of politics.

Angela Rayner, for Labour, says she's "genuinely sorry" he feels that way, but insists she and other politicians really do want to make things better.

Conservative Nigel Evans says his party has big plans "once we get Brexit done" and does his best to convince Peter about them.

It doesn't seem to be working though, as he adds: "We know what you're talking about but we don't believe you."

Victoria Derbyshire

Leanne Breakspear, an undecided voter from Sutton Coldfield, tells Conservative candidate Nigel Evans she feels unsafe because of "biker gangs" in her area and notes that the Conservatives have cut police numbers over their time in power.

"During the years of austerity there's no two ways about it that police numbers were reduced," admits Mr Evans.

"But the growth in the economy has meant that now we are able to reinvest yet again in public services."

He says he is "absolutely certain" there will be 20,000 more police officers on the streets by the end of the next Parliament should the Conservatives win the election, but Ms Breakspear points out that they are just planning to replace those that were cut.

Mr Evans says his constituency in Lancashire already has additional police officers, that the Conservatives have "no problem" with stop and search, and will "fast-track anybody who is caught with knives through the judicial system".

Prof Rosie Campbell, from King's College London, has a look at what the impact could be if those without allegiances did nail their colours to a particular party mast.

Victoria Derbyshire

With three days to go until polling day, around 20% of voters are yet to make up their minds on who to support.

The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme is in Crewe with an audience of undecided voters to find out what issues matter to them.

Jamal, from London, runs a youth organisation, and says none of the parties have won his vote yet.

"I might just tick any box and just walk out," he says.

Crime is a big issue for him - but while he has heard politicians talking about policing he says he hasn't heard enough about prevention.

For Amelia, who is applying to university next year, Labour's promise to scrap tuition fees has caught her attention.

However, she says she doesn't know if she can trust Jeremy Corbyn to deliver on all the promises he has made - a view echoed by a number of audience members.

Scotland Editor

At the start of this campaign, things didn't look particularly promising for the Conservatives in Scotland. They held 13 seats - it was a bit of a surprise that they won 12 extra seats in 2017 - and people were not optimistic that they would hold on to them.

They had a number of problems. They had lost their popular leader in Ruth Davidson, people presumed Boris Johnson would not be an electoral asset amongst Scottish voters, and they were trying to sell this message of "get Brexit done" in a country that voted to remain in the EU.

But what the Tories have done is make this election not about Brexit, but about independence. Their leaflets don't feature pictures of Boris Johnson, or even their interim leader Jackson Carlaw, it's Nicola Sturgeon's picture. Their strategy has been to make her the pantomime baddie in this election performance in Scotland, saying she will bring about another independence referendum, and - if you don't want that - vote Tory.

And if we're to believe the polls, it's a strategy that seems to be galvanising union voters, meaning that the Tories may hold on to more seats up here than people may have thought a few weeks ago.

The SNP have tried to make their central message "stop Brexit", but of course "stop Brexit" means by becoming an independent country and having another referendum.

Labour say they wouldn't allow an independence referendum on her timetable of next year, but they wouldn't block it completely. And so, for people who are really radically opposed to Scottish independence, Labour is no longer seen as the party of the Union - and some of them may be slipping to the Conservatives.

The BBC's Chris Mason, in the audience in Crewe, picks up on two key themes.

On Labour and spending, it's worth saying that think tank the IFS has said both Labour and Conservative spending plans are "not credible".

Here is a look more closely at Labour's economic plans as analysed by the BBC's own Faisal Islam.

The BBC's Jon Pienaar, meanwhile, talks about the question of trust.

Rob, one of the undecided voters, wants someone to convince him that "real change" is possible.

He thinks the worst aspects of American politics have made it into this election - "personal slandering" rather than policy.
