Today's election campaign has been all about Labour's manifesto launch.Jeremy Corbyn said his manifesto - titled "It's time for real change" - was full of popular policies that the political establishment had "blocked for decades". He made a series of pledges, including nationalising the railways, mail and water, raising the minimum wage to £10 and scrapping tuition fee. He'd said Labour would also impose a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. Libby Wiener fills us in on the key points. Daniel and Shehab speak to Robert (today, he's in a car park in Birmingham) about whether Labour's spending pledges outlined today add up - and, in the face of polls suggesting the party are several points behind the Tories, whether the manifesto will win over enough voters.

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, rate and review the podcast.
