Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has criticised Theresa May for refusing to rule out tax rises on income tax and national insurance.

Labour should be prepared to withdraw candidates in key Green Party target seats, some Labour figures have said.

In a letter to the Guardian, former frontbenchers Clive Lewis and Tulip Siddiq and policy chief John Cruddas urge Labour to give the Greens a clear run in the Brighton Pavilion and Isle of Wight constituencies. 

The move follows the Liberal Democrats' decision not to contest Brighton Pavilion, the Greens' sole parliamentary seat, and the Greens' decision not to oppose Labour in a number of areas.

The stream of details emerging from a key meeting between Theresa May and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker is likely to become a river, according to BBC Europe correspondent Kevin Connolly. He writes: 

Officials in Brussels naturally have a vested interest in stressing that leaving the EU is difficult and dangerous - but there's enough detail in the descriptions of a difficult dinner in Downing Street last week to suggest that there are real problems alongside the tactical manoeuvrings.

It's worth remembering too that all this has come before formal Brexit negotiations have even started - they're likely to get going next month. And every stage is likely to be accompanied by similar leaks and briefings - the only difference is at some point the British are likely to join in too.

Number 10 has issued the following statement in response to reports of a difficult meeting between Theresa May and the European Commission president about Brexit.

"We do not recognise this account  As the Prime Minister and Jean-Claude Juncker made clear, this was a constructive meeting ahead of the negotiations formally getting underway."

A German newspaper's report of what it says is a leaked minute of last week's Downing Street dinner attended by Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker has sparked comment on social media.    

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has weighed in on the consequences of Theresa May's meeting with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker. 

The Institute for Fiscal studies (IFS) has warned against implementing a tax "triple lock" which the think tank claims could limit "desirable" tax reforms. 

In its 2015 manifesto, the Conservatives promised not to raise VAT, income tax and national insurance. So far, the Tories and Labour have both only ruled out raising VAT.

IFS associate director Helen Miller said the tax lock is a "bad policy".

"Constraining the workhorse taxes in this way prevents desirable tax reforms, as we have seen in relation to the taxation of the self-employed, and restricts the policy levers available to deal with any unexpected change in the economy.”

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron has accused Theresa May of being "complacent" following claims the Prime Minister told EU officials that she would win the election. As a campaign event in Surbiton, after the launch of the party's battlebus, Mr Farron said he was:

It follows a report by German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) about last Wednesday's meeting between Mrs May and European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker where she allegedly said that she fully expects to be re-elected as prime minister.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is promising a "consumer rights revolution" for private renters. 

Campaigning this morning in London, with housing spokesman John Healey (above left), Mr Corbyn said housing was a "massive, massive" issue. And the fact that private tenants lacked rights to complain about poor properties was "simply wrong". 

Labour, he said, would bring consumer rights regarding rented properties into line with those for buyers of other goods or services.
