General Election LIVE: Tory manifesto promises national insurance cuts and help for homeowners

Rishi Sunak has suggested he would never finish work before 6pm, after Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he rarely works after 6pm on Fridays to protect family time.

Asked about Sir Keir’s comments, the Prime Minister said he hadn't seen them but said "what time is it now?" and added "we would only have a couple of hours left in the day at this point, which is not great".

The Tories also shared a mock-up of Sir Keir's 'timetable' if he were Prime Minister.

Representatives from the Heritage Party, the Social Democratic Party, Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, and the Workers Party talk with LBC's Iain Dale.

Labour leader Keir Starmer has said his party will work with Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party if it wins the upcoming election in France. 

Pressed on Ms Le Pen’s preference for bilateral deals instead of EU-wide ones, he said he believes both are vital to addressing the small boat crisis.

Shadow paymaster general Jon Ashworth says “a vote for a Tory candidate in this election is a vote for a Trussite agenda.”

He believes that a Liz Truss-inspired agenda would emerge if Rishi Sunak is returned as Prime Minister at the General Election.

Mr Ashworth claimed there are “166 hardcore Trussites” in the Conservative party, adding: “Most of them share the core ‘Pop-Con’ belief which is that Trussonomics was sabotaged by the so-called big state establishment in the autumn of 2022 and has never been given a proper chance to succeed.”

Jewish community representatives have condemned the treatment of Tory candidate for Bury South Rabbi Arnold Sanders after he was verbally abused outside Masjid Bilal Mosque in Manchester.

The councillor for Kersal and BP in Salford, who uses a walking stick, left before speaking at the mosque. He'd been invited to speak there by Muslim elders.

A four-minute video online shows a man shouting: "You justified children to be murdered… when you are with your own people these are the things you say, then you come here and smile like a snake."

Labour MP Christian Wakeford and The Board of Deputies of British Jews have condemned it as"totally unacceptable" and "abusive treatment".

Asked by LBC's Political Correspondent Aggie Chambre how Labour will increase funding for local authorities, Keir Starmer said he cannot "pretend on the Friday after the election we can suddenly find money that isn't there".

But he insisted his party want to make sure councils have the funding they need by making several changes. These include getting rid of no fault evictions and changing the settlement for councils from one year to three.

People Before Profit have shared their manifesto, with “radical redistribution of wealth” in Northern Ireland at its core.

Ireland's "largest Ecosocialist organisation" have pledged to use this money to increase investment in public services and “uplift” working people.

They would hike corporation tax to 45% on business profits exceeding £125,000 (corporation tax in the UK is currently 25%) and introduce a specific wealth tax on millionaires. 

The party’s sole MLA, Gerry Carroll, said “our manifesto for radical change is a call to upend the Tory political agenda which has devastated working class communities for 14 years”.

He added: “A vote for People Before Profit is a vote to reject a political and economic system that prioritises the wealth of the few over the interests of the vast majority."

The party additionally said that "a Labour Party led by Keir Stamer will not make much difference as he will continue with most Tory policies."

Shadow environment secretary Steve Reed tells LBC's Shelagh Fogarty that a Labour government would continue to work with far-right leaders.

In response to the rise of the far right in Europe and the success of France's Republican Front, Mr Reed said 'any British Government would work with our allies, and our allies are democracies who choose whoever they like to be their government.'

In response to how Sir Keir Starmer will manage working with these leaders, Mr Reed said that 'there will always be a range of governments amongst our allies'.

He added that what underscores these differences are common interests like security for Ukraine.

The Labour leader has answered media questions on how Labour will interact with other countries on the international stage if they win the election.

Sir Keir did not say if he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but insisted "the most important thing is to be absolutely clear that our support for Ukraine is on a united front in this country".

Asked what a victory for France's National Rally would mean for a Labour government, he said he would "work with any government in Europe and across the world" if Labour are elected, adding "that's what serious government is about".
