Summary

Today we look at the Labour Party Manifesto launch and get an update into what the Undercover Voters have been seeing on their social media feeds.

Adam speaks to Laura Kuenssberg and Jo Coburn about Labour’s manifesto after it was launched today in Manchester by Keir Starmer. The manifesto promises ‘stability over chaos’ and economic growth - but how do they plan to deliver on those commitments?

Adam is also joined by BBC Wales Political reporter Teleri Glyn Jones to talk about the Plaid Cymru manifesto.

And Marianna Spring has been investigating the accounts accused of being Vote Reform Bots.
