  2. May hopes to cut immigration by end of next parliamentpublished at 22:09 British Summer Time 1 June 2017

    Theresa May will be "working for" a cut in immigration to the tens of thousands by 2022 if elected, she told reporters aboard her battle bus in Yorkshire.

    "We're working to bring immigration down to the tens of thousands," she said.

    "But having been home secretary for six years, this isn't something that you can just produce the magic bullet that suddenly does everything. What you have to do is keep working at it.

    "You have to make sure that people aren't finding other ways, not to put too fine a point on it, to abuse the system."

    The Conservative manifesto includes a commitment to bring net migration down to below 100,000 even though the pledge, first made in 2009, has never been met.

  14. Scottish Conservative leader defends 'rape clause' tax credit reformpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 1 June 2017

    A change to tax credits, which campaigners dubbed the rape clause, became law at the beginning of April.

    The government said it wanted to limit child tax credits to the first two children, but made certain exemptions including for children born as the result of non-consensual sex - the "rape clause".

    Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson defended the change today, saying third-party professionals would be asked to help claimants fill out the necessary form.

    The Shadow Foreign Secretary, Emily Thornberry, has said Labour will attempt to form a minority government if it wins the most seats in a hung parliament.

    She told journalists at a Labour rally in Basildon in Essex there would be no deals with other parties.

    She said: "If we end up in a position where we're in a minority, we will go ahead and we will put forward a Queen's Speech and a budget and if [MPs] want to vote for it, then good.

    "And if they don't want to vote for it, they're going to go back and speak to their constituents and explain to them why it is we have a Tory government instead."
