On Brexit, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn warned that walking away and trading under World Trade Organization conditions would severely damage manufacturing.

The idea that you can simply approach these negotiations by setting up a tax haven "is not a sensible way" of negotiating, he said.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says his party wants "the full tax returns of all medium and larger corporations to be published so everyone can see what is going on".

He claimed multinational corporations play around by earning money in one country and paying taxes in another

"We have a government that's far too ready to negotiate with companies about the amount of tax they pay," he said.

"It doesn't work like that for ordinary people."

Mr Corbyn says Labour will not be cutting corporation tax "or handing £70bn back" to the wealthiest corporations.

And in answer to rather gloomy questions he adds that almost two years ago he was quoted as a 200 to 1 chance as the rank outsider in the Labour leadership race.

Mr Corbyn's speech ended with a standing ovation - he is now taking questions from the media.

He said the election is giving Labour a chance to get its message out "for hope and opportunity", that there doesn't have to be people homeless that you don't have to be waiting forever for an operation.

"Our message is one of inclusion and social justice - and we're going to get this message out across the whole country," he said.

"Our plans will be fully costed and will be fully accounted for and paid for."

Before the Easter recess, the government was defeated in the Lords after crossbencher Lord Warner successfully insisted on an amendment to the Health Service Medical Supplies (Costs) Bill, external.

The amendment seeks to introduce a commitments to the life sciences sector and on patient access as the government reforms the way new drugs are priced. 

Now Labour's health spokesman in the Lords, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, tweets:

Next week, Parliament will have to finalise or bin the remaining legislation still passing through Westminster.

There are a few bills at ping-pong stage at the moment bouncing between the Lords and Commons in search of final agreement. 

What normally happens in these circumstances is that the government seeks as much agreement as possible, and drops controversial parts of the legislation to get the rest through - a process known in Westminster slang as the "washup".

As Emma Norris of the Institute for Government points out, external, bills which are currently in ping-pong stage which the government wants to see passed "are only likely to make it through to the statute book with compromises".

Yesterday ministers were able to resist a Lords amendment to the Technical and Further Education Bill, external attempting to secure child benefits for apprentices on the grounds that it is a financial matter, giving MPs the final say. 

Ending his speech, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his party "will focus on giving people real control over their own lives and make sure that everybody reaps a just reward for the work that they do".

"We will no longer allow those at the top to leach off of those who bust their guts on zero hours contracts or those forced to make sacrifices to pay their mortgage or their rent," he said.

"Instead of the country’s wealth being hidden in tax havens, we will put it in the hands of the people of Britain, as they are the ones who earned it.

"In this election Labour will lead the movement to make that change. We will build a new economy, worthy of the 21st century and we will build a country for the many not the few."

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the prime minister "will insist that this is an election about Brexit".

"She will try to downplay the issues that affect people’s lives every day and instead turn the election into an ego trip about her own failing leadership and the machinations of the coming negotiations in Brussels," he said.

"It is only Labour that will focus on what kind of country we want to have after Brexit. In the coming weeks Labour will lay out our policies to unlock opportunities for every single person in this country."

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused the Conservatives of being "too morally bankrupt" to take on the "gilded elite that hide their money in the Cayman Islands".

Warming to his theme, he said: "Labour will end this racket and make sure everyone pays their taxes - we'll overturn the rigged system."

He accused the Tories of "seven years of broken promises" on pay, the deficit, NHS, schools and the environment.

He said it was "their wealthy friends in the City that crashed our economy" and not pensioners.

If he was Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley he would be worried about a Labour government and would want to see Conservatives in charge.

They are "monopolising wealth that should be shared by everyone in the whole country", he said.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says his party does not accept that the British people have to accept what they are given.

He said those are "yesterday's rules set by corporate elites".

"We don't fit in their cosy club - we're not obsessed with the tittle tattle of Westminster or Brussels," he said.

He said the establishment "and their camp followers in the media think we don't play by their rules". He adds that on that point they are right.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has opened his speech in Central London saying his party will stand up for working people "to improve the lives of all".

He said: "It's the establishment versus the people - it's our duty to ensure the people prevail."
