Launching their campaigns for the weeks to come and setting their pitch to voters. Political correspondent harry farley has this report. The campaign is off to a jet setting start. 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
And weve had. Weve had 14 years of going round and round in circles, getting absolutely nowhere. Chaos and Division Feeding Chaos and division. And that has a cost, a human cost. In milton keynes, i met will, whos a fireman, and he has a simple dream, not an unreasonable dream. He wants to own his own home. Hes got two extra jobs on top of being a fireman, but he still cant afford it because the chaos and division of this government has robbed him of that dream. That is the price that he is paying. Sir keir starmer spent about all those supporters with banners saying change. Strategists always say during a campaign to have a simple message and keep repeating it until voters buy it and then do it some more. Im sure over the next six weeks that is how it is going to play out. More in a moment or two, i hope to speak to laura trott from the conservatives in the next little while but why dont we pause and catch up with some of the Sports Headlines of the day. Lets cross. Hello there. Thank
There are always bumps. Gordon brown, Gillian Duffy that sort of thing. There are always problems in elections those leaders have to navigate. You had nick clegg unexpectedly performing well in that tv debate. That is what number ten will hope, that there is a moment i can exploit. Will hope, that there is a moment i can exnloit can exploit. The idea of the liberal democrats can exploit. The idea of the liberal democrats and can exploit.

The idea of the Liberall Democrats and the labour party are not 100 ruling out any kind of deal coalition. Forthe not 100 ruling out any kind of deal coalition. For the liberal democrats at the moment it doesnt make sense for them to say they would enter some kind of deal because realistically there is still time to go and it does look like labour will probably get a m
Usually meets weekly on tuesday, but rishi sunak was in vienna meeting his austrian counterpart yesterday, so thats why cabinet didnt happen. Thats perfectly reasonable. However, david cameron, the foreign secretary, who is in albania, appears to be coming back early to take part in that Cabinet Meeting to stop thats quite striking. All these little straws in the wind, these little straws in the wind, these things that make you think, something is up, those are all going in a big way. Indie something is up, those are all going in a big way in a big way. We love speculation in olitics. In a big way. We love speculation in politics we in a big way. We love speculation in politics.
