The Lib Dem leader didn't choose this part of south London to make his speech by chance. 

He addressed supporters there because 78% of its voters backed Remain in the EU referendum - one of the highest remain votes in the country. 

However, it is currently represented by Labour MP Kate Hoey - a strong Brexiteer. 

The party hopes they will be able to win the seat and have been making sure their election literature labours the point. 

Lib Dem membership has passed the 100,000 mark following a surge of new joiners since Theresa May announced a snap general election.

The party said it has signed up 12,500 new members since last week - and is expected to reach its highest total in its history "within days".

The biggest membership number the Lib Dems have had since their formation was 101,768 members in 1994.

Tim Farron said the election should not be a "coronation" of the Conservatives, but a chance for the people to decide about the future of Brexit.

He spoke about a choice to not leave the European Union and to stay in the single market, and putting that decision "to the people". 

But the Lib Dem leader's main point was his party was the choice for a "decent, functioning opposition" during the next parliament, which will make the big Brexit decisions. 

He added: 

UKIP reiterated its pledge to ban full face veils at the launch of its integration agenda earlier today. But how widely will it apply?

What impact is the snap election having on the selection of female candidates? 

Will women win or lose out on better representation at Westminster? 

Conservative MP Maria Miller, who chairs parliament's Women and Equalities Committee, Labour MP and former frontbencher Rachel Reeves, Lib Dem MP Sarah Olney, Angela Crawley MP and SNP shadow spokesperson on equalities, women and children, UKIP deputy chair Suzanne Evans, and Sarah Childs, Professor of Politics and Gender at the University of Bristol, joined  Jane Garvey to discuss the issue.

The leader of the Liberal Democrats has celebrated reaching 100,000 members with party supporters in Vauxhall. 

Tim Farron said he pledged to reach the number before the next general election when he took over the leadership two years ago, but he did not expect the election to be so soon.

The SNP has joined the pledge by Labour and Plaid Cymru to repeal the Conservatives' Trade Union Act. 

Nicola Sturgeon said the "evidence is clear" that tackling inequality is the way to build a stronger economy, and trade unions would play a "hugely important role" in achieving that. 

On immigration, Nicola Sturgeon said there are challenges for the country, but she felt she could not "stand by and watch EU citizens living in Scotland without their rights".

The first minister says the fear is that a Conservative Brexit would "shut the door to a valued workforce" in Scotland and would be an "act of economic self harm that would damage all of us".

Instead, she wants to fight for the power of those decisions to be taken in Scotland, rather than Westminster. 

Brexit is proving to big a big theme of Nicola Sturgeon's speech, as she says Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU "against our will".

The first minister said that the Conservatives "think they can do whatever they want to Scotland and get away with it", with Brexit a good example. 

She criticised Theresa May for triggering Article 50 "with no consultation" and told the trade union it was a threat to the future of workers in the country.

Environment secretary Andrea Leadsom said a draft air quality plan would be published on 30 June.

She told the House of Commons the government initially asked for a delay to its publication because local authorities will need to play a "central role" in the implementation of the plan.

Therefore they asked for an extension to avoid it being publish during the run up to the 4 May local elections in order to comply with "purdah" rules.

She insisted it was "vital we get this done" and the delay to the plans was a short one.

The vision of the Conservatives should be "ringing alarm bells across Scotland", says Mrs Sturgeon. 

She said that "hardliners" have taken over the party and they now want to take over the country as well.

The first minister said it was no surprise UKIP was losing voters to the Tories as the party was taking the UK in a direction "UKIP could have only dreamed of" a few years ago. 

She added:

Labour and the SNP both accuse ministers of "hiding behind" election rules concerning the delay to the publication of their air quality strategy, arguing that public health matters are exempt. 

Mrs Leadsom says the delay is "very short" and is only being sought to comply with "proprietal rules". 

Scotland's first minister Nicola Sturgeon has taken to the stage at the STUC conference in Aviemore after Jeremy Corbyn spoke this morning. 

She began her speech saying that the trade union movement was "vital to the economy and to the kind of society we are".

She also said there were "too many" politicians and media comentators saying that government should "shy away" from building strong relationships with trade unions and should be "embarassed" of any links. 

But Mrs Sturgeon dismissed these claims.

She told the conference: 

After giving a speech on his party's integration policy, UKIP leader Paul Nuttall was asked whether he will stand for Parliament in the 8 June general election.

The leader of Plaid Cymru supports Labour's pledge to scrap the Trade Union Bill, but says only her party is "united and disciplined enough" to fight against it in Westminster.

Speaking after Jeremy Corbyn's speech in Scotland, where he confirmed the policy, Leanne Wood said her party had already voted against the bill and pledged to repeal it in Wales. 

She added:   

Former UKIP donor Arron Banks has been in Clacton for the first time since he declared an interest in standing for Parliament in the constituency....

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has given his public backing to Jeremy Corbyn, despite supporting his competitor during last year's leadership election. 

The former Labour MP had backed Owen Smith and wrote in the Observer last year that, whilst Mr Corbyn was a "principled Labour man", it would be "extremely unlikely" that he would lead the party back to power. 

Now the mayor has told Sky News, external the choice between Mr Corbyn and Theresa May “was simple”.

He added:

Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom tells MPs "significant progress" has been made on improving air quality. 

She says that election guidance means "it would not be appropriate" to consult on the strategy at this time.

She confirms the government has sought an extension to the deadline and will publish a final plan in September.
