Boris Johnson news: PM delivers rambling Brexit speech on election trail, after being repeatedly jeered by angry members of public

‘You should have been there’: Flood-hit residents attack PM

Yet more harsh words for Boris Johnson from flood-hit residents.

A new clip shows one woman at the Fishlake community centre the PM visited telling him: “It’s took you over five days. You should have been there Saturday morning having a meeting making sure these people get the help and support.

“And I’m sorry your announcements yesterday were a pittance.”

The woman said local people needed to “know that they matter and you’re going to make a difference – because it hasn’t been demonstrated yet”.

Another woman said: “It is an emergency Boris.”

SNP: Corbyn in no position to say when indyref2 will be

The SNP said Jeremy Corbyn is in “no position” to say when another referendum on Scottish independence can be held and warned him over asking for support to form a government.

Social justice spokesman Neil Gray said: “No Westminster party has any right to stand in the way of that - and these latest comments show that privately Labour are well aware that their undemocratic position of simply ignoring the Scottish people, no matter what they say, is completely unsustainable.

“And with the once-dominant Scottish Labour Party now at the point of extinction, and Labour voters turning to the SNP, Jeremy Corbyn is in absolutely no position to tell the people of Scotland if and when they can have a say over their own future.”

Campaigners demand televised climate change debate

More than 120,000 people have signed a petition calling for a televised election debate among party leaders on climate change and nature.

But organisers of the campaign say they have been told Boris Johnson will not take part over fears the issue could be “siloed”, though other party leaders have agreed to the debate.

The call has been led by climate charity Possible and the UK Student Climate Network, amid growing concern over climate and environmental crises.

The move for a climate debate has been backed by more than 60 organisations totalling millions of members, including the Women's Institute, the National Union of Students and the National Trust.

Max Wakefield, director at Possible, said: “It’s clear from the level of diverse support we've received in just a week that the public wants a televised leaders’ debate on the climate and nature emergencies.

“Given that, why wouldn’t the government want to make the case for their market, innovation and regulatory-based approach to tackling these emergencies?”

Farage vows to field candidates in ‘every single’ Labour-held seat

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said his candidates will stand in every Labour-held seat.

After announcing on Monday that the party’s candidates would stand aside in Tory-held seats, Mr Farage has faced pressure to drop more candidates.

Speaking from a boxing club in Hainault, Farage said: “In parts of east London like this, there are constituencies that voted by 69 per cent, by 70 per cent, to leave the European Union.”

He added: “All their senior figures said during the referendum, after the referendum, and indeed in their election manifesto, they said they would honour the result of the referendum and they have - I put it to you - completely betrayed the trust of Labour voters in this country.

“We’re going to stand against every single one of them.”

He also repeated his claim that he was offered a seat in the House of Lords, telling supporters: “The very fact this government think they can buy me off with a peerage, so I’ll simply go quietly, tell me two things.

“Firstly, by the way, I’m not for sale – I keep telling them, I’ve got principles, I’m not for sale - but it tells me that actually this whole system where people get appointed to the House of Lords is a form of political corruption – it’s the kind of thing I’d expect to see in South America.”

His ally Arron Banks, co-founder of Leave.EU, has urged him to stand down yet more Brexit Party candidates and focus on around 40 Labour seats.

Banks said: “Nigel reminds me of a gambler at a casino that’s been winning all night and it’s time to take the chips off the table and step away.”

Corbyn: Isis leader should have been put on trial

Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the “right thing to do” would have been to arrest Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, recently killed in a US operation, and put him on trial.

Asked by LBC if he thought the death was welcome, the Labour leader said: “If we preach international law and international legal process, through the international court of justice in the Hague, then we should carry it out. And if it’s possible to arrest somebody and put them to trial, then that is what should have been done.”

Alistair Campbell will campaign for ex-Tory minister

The leading Final Say referendum campaigner Alistair Campbell has said he will be campaign for the ex-Tory minister David Gauke.

He tweeted the independent candidate for South West Hertfordshire: “David let me know how where and when I can help you with your campaign.”

Campbell also told ITV’s election podcast: “I will go to [South West Hertfordshire] and campaign for David Gauke, I would go and help Philip Lee, I think we’ve all got to do what we can do.

“It really depresses me, why are the Greens standing against Anna Soubry.”

Splits emerge in Labour over 32-hour week plans

John McDonnell has said Labour’s plans for a 32-hour week would apply to NHS staff despite claims from his party’s health spokesman that the health service would be exempt.

The shadow chancellor confirmed that a four-day working week would be part of Labour’s election offer and the radical proposals would extend to all workers.

However his comments set him at odds with Jonathan Ashworth, the shadow health secretary, who said Labour was not "imposing" a four-day week on the NHS in a round of broadcast interviews.

Tories say Jeremy Corbyn would be "disaster for national security"

In the wake of the Labour leader's suggestion that Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi should have been arrested, Brandon Lewis said: "Corbyn’s comments are yet more proof of his flawed judgement and inability to stand up to people who reject our values.

"Every time he is given the opportunity to take the side of this country's enemies he does so.

“In one month, Britain could wake up to find him standing on the steps of Downing Street as our Prime Minister.

“Voters at the election next month face a crucial choice between a Conservative majority government that will keep our country safe or a chaotic coalition led by Jeremy Corbyn which would be a disaster for national security."

Boris Johnson to give Brexit speech

The prime minister is to deliver a speech in the West Midlands shortly, where he is expected to rail against the "groundhoggery" of Brexit - by going on about Brexit.

Here's the overnight trail of his speech:

Boris Johnson was given a tour of the production line during a visit to the London Electric Vehicle Company in Ansty, West Midlands.

It concluded with him taking a seat in an electric black cab which had a "Boris10" number plate on the dashboard.

The Prime Minister then drove the car a short distance and said "here we go" before pulling to a stop.
