The Conservatives promise a further 2p cut in employee National Insurance by April 2027, as they launch their election manifesto
The manifesto also pledges to scrap the main rate of self-employed National Insurance by the end of the Parliament
It promises a "regular rhythm" of asylum flights to Rwanda, and to "halve migration"
Labour's Rachel Reeves says it's a "desperate wish list", while Keir Starmer says it's a "Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto"
Sunak earlier announced a stamp duty cut for some first time buyers, a new Help to Buy scheme, and tax cuts for landlords who sell to tenants
Labour, who launch their manifesto on Thursday, earlier pledged an extra 100,000 dental appointments for children in England

How are the Conservatives planning to fund their pledges? And do their plans add up?
Let's look at two examples.
Firstly, their plans to raise £6bn by closing the tax gap - that is, the tax that should be collected but isn't. Labour have a similar plan to raise about £5bn.
But it won't be easy, say experts. The Institute for Fiscal Studies says there's uncertainty around what's possible. Tax Policy Associates say it's credible, but careful targeting and management will be needed.
Then there's the bigger target; raising £12bn through welfare reforms. Some experts are unconvinced.
The IFS has said delivering the cuts "looks difficult in the extreme". The Resolution Foundation agrees - saying they "look extremely challenging to deliver".
It's useful context when thinking about the pledges made today. We'll know a lot more later about how the Conservatives plan to make the sums add up.
And if this sounds familiar – it is. Then-Chancellor George Osborne offered almost the exact same thing in 2015; £12bn welfare savings and £5bn extra tax collection.
A few years later, the spending watchdog made clear about a third of the welfare savings didn’t materialise.

The story of Rishi Sunak as prime minister goes like this:
There was an initial blast of activity to stabilise the economy, followed by countless attempts to revive political fortunes.
There has been an Autumn Statement, a Budget, a party conference speech, you name it.
There have been policy ideas such as the Rwanda scheme on irregular migration, to the scrapping of much of the HS2 rail line, to banning smoking for young people, to tax cuts.
The impact on the opinion polls: diddly squat.
Take a look, for example, at this from the Economist, external.
The gap between the Conservatives and Labour has persistently been a psephological canyon.
The hope from many Tories was at some point it would narrow.
Now, nearly three weeks into this campaign, it hasn’t.
Today is one of a shrivelling number of chances to finally manage it for the Conservatives.
Let's get back to the Conservatives' election promises, ahead of their manifesto launch later this morning.
In a BBC interview last night, Rishi Sunak admitted that "it has got harder" to buy a home, but he "wants to make sure that it's easier".
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he sets out three pledges:
Labour has called the party's plans a "desperate series of unfunded commitments", and the most "expensive panic attack in history".
Sunak spoke to the BBC's Nick Robinson last night
Asked if Labour would match the Conservative promise to cut 2p from National Insurance, Streeting says they're not able to make that commitment because "the money simply isn't there".
He says Rishi Sunak is "taking people for fools" and there's the choice between the "irresponsible Conservative party with a record of economic vandalism or a responsible Labour that's being honest with the country".
He says every promise Labour makes is one the country "can afford" and that Sunak "can't say that".
'Money simply isn't there' for Labour to match Tory NI cut
The interview now turns to how Labour's policies are being funded.
Sally Nugent asks Streeting if they would increase capital gains tax - after previously ruling out increases in income tax rates, National Insurance, VAT and corporation tax.
Capital gains tax is paid on profits from selling an asset, and is set at a lower rate than income tax.
Streeting says he "can certainly confirm not a single policy in that manifesto requires Labour to increase capital gains tax".
Streeting says Labour is committed to rebuilding NHS dentistry - that's going to include an extra 700,000 emergency dentistry appointments being created, 100,000 of those earmarked for children.
It's part of a £1.6bn package to "take action on waiting times", he tells BBC Breakfast.
He says Labour will "help make sure those people in pain and agony" will be able to get the emergency dentistry they need.
Streeting emphasises that longer term, there needs to be contract reform. He says on the Monday after the election, if Labour wins, he'll hold talks with the British Dental Association about this - adding that many dentists are in the private sector.
On that note, he says there's a "horrible status quo" where those who can afford to go private do, while "poor people" get a "poor service".
First, Streeting is asked about Labour's plans to stop the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to under-16s.
He says he "applauds" supermarkets who currently ban selling them to children but the current scheme is "voluntary".
"Parents and teachers have told us about the impact of these products", he says, and they are having "really serious" effects on children's concentration and sleep, saying some children are "wired".
Streeting says "we need consistency everywhere", and more broadly his party is trying to take more "preventative action".

The morning media round is about to get under way.
Sent out to bat for the Conservatives today is Mel Stride, work and pensions secretary, and Wes Streeting, shadow health secretary, for Labour.
They will be speaking to both BBC Breakfast and BBC Radio 4's Today programme shortly.
We'll be bringing you updates their key lines here.
The full Conservative manifesto is coming later this morning - but many of their pledges have already been announced in the general election campaign.
One policy that will be in the Conservatives' manifesto later today is a further 2p cut in employees' National Insurance (NI).
NI is a tax on earnings, paid by both employees and the company they work for - it's currently at 8% for workers, but the Tories pledge would drop this to 6%.
The government has already cut the NI rate for employees twice this year - first taking it from 12% to 10%, and then down to 8%.
The prime minister says his party would help working people "keep more of the money you earn" - but Labour have criticised the party's ideas as "the most expensive panic attack in history".

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the general election campaign - with just 23 days left to go before polling day.
By lunchtime, we'll know what's in the Conservative manifesto, beyond the new pledge to further cut National Insurance by 2p making headlines this morning.
(As a reminder, a manifesto is a set of pledges from a party seeking to form a government. As history shows, these are not iron-clad promises - but more on this later).
Later this week will also see manifesto launches from the Green Party and Labour.
Elsewhere today, will be out campaigning, including the Lib Dems, SNP, and Reform UK - and we'll bring you updates and analysis on all this right here on this page.
