Rishi sunak met supporters in a Biscuit Factory in derbyshire before a trip to a brewery in barry and then to inverness, where he highlighted signs that he says the economy is turning a corner. Inflation has returned to normal. Wages have been rising faster than prices. The economy is now growing at a healthy rate. And thats why now is the right time to talk about our future. And my view is we need to have leadership that can provide a clear plan, take bold action to deliver a secure future for everyone in scotland and across the country, especially in these uncertain times. Sir keir starmer will also be in scotland later, as the campaigns spread across the length and breadth of the uk. The cost of energy will be a point of division today, with labour promising to bring down energy bills for good. You vote l

Unashamedly saying what it thinks of the tory manifesto. It is astonishingly supportive, even reverential. I was quite taken aback when i saw this because even though it has been very supportive of theresa may, especially over the last few days, ahead of the ma nifesto last few days, ahead of the manifesto launch, she can do no wrong. All you need to do is compare this to what would happen if David Cameron was Prime Minister and he announced some of the policies she did today, you can imagine what the daily mail might say about the elderlys homes being sold off to pay for care and getting rid of winter fuel allowance.
