Jeremy Corbyn launches poster
Labour are launching their first new poster of the campaign today - and here it is.
Labour
will pledge to re-nationalise Britain’s energy industry, railways and
Royal Mail in its most left-wing election manifesto in a generation.
The
Mirror has obtained a leaked version of the party’s entire draft
manifesto, containing landmark promises of £6billion-a-year extra for
the NHS and £1.6billion-a-year for social care.
University tuition
fees will be abolished entirely, and town halls ordered to build
100,000 new council houses a year under a new Department for Housing.
Thousands of homes will be offered to rough sleepers, and private rent hikes capped at inflation.
Meanwhile
a new Ministry of Labour will oversee the biggest boost to workers’
rights in decades, while planned hikes to the pension age beyond 66 will
not go ahead.
Gordon Brown talks about his fears for manufacturing after Brexit

Tomorrow
I visit two great, historic centres of British manufacturing which are
being forgotten and sidelined by the Conservatives’ hard-line position
on Brexit .
In Coventry I will meet some of the 8,000 workers who depend on our world-beating Jaguar Land Rover models.
Then
later, in Wirral I will meet Ellesmere Port workers whose future has
been thrown into question by the takeover of General Motors by Peugeot
Citroen despite their high levels of productivity.
The automotive
industry employs 52,000 in the West Midlands and 20,000 in the North
West. So, 46.5 per cent of vehicle manufacturing jobs are in these two
regions.
I fought while Prime Minister to save and expand Jaguar
and Vauxhall, I worked with Nissan, Honda and Ford and I am not going to
give up the fight for jobs now.
Theresa May is talking about Somalia
The
Prime Minister is starting her morning by hosting a conference on
Somalia, and meeting with Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo in
Number 10.
We imagine she’ll be returning to the campaign trail in the afternoon Meanwhile
Tim
Farron is off to sunny Wales, Ukip’s aptly named fisheries spokesman
Mike Hookem is launching their fisheries policy in Westminster (that
well known fishing town) and the Caroline Lucas will be talking about
their environment manifesto.
