Summary

We're now at the end of the third week of campaigning and so far this general election has not disappointed. Hecklers have kept us entertained up to this point - Jo Swinson got her dose in Glasgow on Friday - but now we are finally getting down to the political details. Labour has launched its manifesto - a document titled 'It's Time For Real Change' - and claims it is the most "radical" released for years. The Tories on the other hand will not release their manifesto until Sunday but leader Boris Johnson has already let some policies slip, including a plan to cut national insurance. Elsewhere, the Liberal Democrats also launched their manifesto, with the slogan Stop Brexit, Build A Brighter Future. The polls are putting the Tories in first place, with Labour second, followed by the Lib Dems - but who is up and who is down at the end of week three? We’ll bring you a new episode every weekday around 5pm throughout the election campaign. Don’t forget to subscribe - and if you like what you hear, do rate us and leave a review.
