  4. Manifesto 'reverses national priorities'published at 11:36 British Summer Time 16 May 2017

    Jeremy Corbyn

    Jeremy Corbyn lists some of those this manifesto is aimed at. Parents worried about the prospects for their children and their elderly parents, young people worried about jobs or whether they'll ever get a home of their own, workers who've gone years without a pay rise.

    "Labour's mission over the next five years is to change all that... to reverse our national priorities."

  6. 'This is a manifesto for all ages'published at 11:33 British Summer Time 16 May 2017

    "This manifesto is a draft for a better future for our country. It's a blueprint for a better future," says Jeremy Corbyn.

    "This is a manifesto for all ages."

    He says it will transform the 21st Century as Harold Wilson's transformed Britain in the 1960s.

  7. Manifesto focus: Retirementpublished at 11:33 British Summer Time 16 May 2017

    There'll be no increase in the state pension age beyond 66 under a future Labour government. Currently, those aged around 40 can expect to work until around 68.

  8. Jeremy Corbyn is on the stagepublished at 11:32 British Summer Time 16 May 2017

    Jeremy Corbyn

    Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is now speaking. As he soaks up the applause, he shows off Labour's 2017 general election manifesto.

    The manifesto is now live online - read it here., external

  10. Manifesto focus: Immigrationpublished at 11:28 British Summer Time 16 May 2017

    Labour will not promise an immigration target and will take students out of the calculation of net migration.

    That's something Theresa May has resisted doing, despite some calls from within her own cabinet to do so. The argument goes that foreign students contribute to the UK financially and numbers cancel themselves out over time because those leaving at the end of courses should be roughly the same as the numbers beginning courses each year.

    After Sarah Champion, the Labour launch hears from a businessman who talks about struggling to cope with his autistic child and who is putting his faith in Jeremy Corbyn. 

    Next up is a bus driver, above, who talks about the Tories "holding us back". He talks about being "lifted out of poverty" by a higher living wage, £10 an hour, being promised by Labour.

  16. More to benefit from free childcarepublished at 11:18 British Summer Time 16 May 2017

    The manifesto says the current 30 hours free childcare offered by the government to three- and four-year-olds would be extended to two-year-olds and "some" to one-year-olds. 

    Our colleague in BBC Radio Leeds says the document doesn't say how it would be paid for.
