British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday she would be willing to weaken human rights protections to make it easier to deport or curb the movements of suspected militants who there is not enough evidence to prosecute. May used one of her final speeches in an election campaign which has turned into a debate about national security to step up her rhetoric against Islamist extremism, pledging to ensure security services had the powers they needed.

Jeremy Corbyn tonight accused Theresa May of ignoring warnings about the terror risks of cutting police officers. Labour's leader said Mrs May accused the Police Federation of 'crying wolf' about the cuts as he responded to the third terror attack in three months to hit Britain. He said the Government could not protect the public 'on the cheap' in a hard-hitting address.

The Prime Minister’s personal rating has turned negative for the first time in a ComRes poll – despite the Conservative Party’s lead of 12 points remaining unchanged since last week. While both Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party’s rating have improved, the Conservatives are up one point on 47 per cent. Labour are also up one, on 35 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats unchanged on 8 per cent and Ukip, also unchanged, on 4 per cent.

The Conservatives have ruled out raising income taxes on the highest earners – despite having refused to make the same pledge for taxpayers on lower incomes.

Jeremy Corbyn has branded fox hunting “barbarity” and pledged to keep blood sports banned on animal welfare grounds. Mr Corbyn, who grew up in rural Shropshire, said the first speech he had ever given when at school was at a debate in favour of banning such cruel sports.

The 2017 UK Labour Manifesto has been hugely popular since it was leaked early last month, and young Britons registered to vote in droves after it got out. But what does it actually say?

The Scottish National Party is offering voters a new choice on independence at the end of Brexit process, leader Nicola Sturgeon said on Tuesday. “There is just too much at stake for Brexit simply to be imposed on Scotland, no matter how damaging it turns out to be,” Sturgeon, also leader of the devolved Scottish government, told supporters at the launch of the SNP'S policy document ahead of a 8 June general election.

Theresa May will confront Donald Trump over the stream of leaks of crucial intelligence about the Manchester bomb attack when she meets the US president at a Nato summit in Brussels on Thursday. British officials were infuriated on Wednesday when the New York Times published forensic photographs of sophisticated bomb parts that UK authorities fear could complicate the expanding investigation into the lethal blast in which six further arrests have been made in the UK and two more in Libya.

The Conservatives are buying up Google ads to stop people reading about the controversy around its "dementia tax". The party has come under huge pressure over its new care plan, which will see older people have to pay for the services they use. The controversial policy has been called a dementia tax, since it means people who need care as they get older will have to pay far more than they did before.

Almost one million children from poor backgrounds will lose the right to free school meals if Theresa May pushes through cuts in the Conservative manifesto, an educational think tank has warned. The Prime Minister announced last week that universal free lunches for infants will be stopped if the Tories win the June 8 general election, with free breakfasts on offer instead.

A Tory MP told a girl to "f*** off back to Scotland" when she said she'd vote for independence if a second referendum was triggered. James Heappey's outburst came as he addressed sixth-formers at the £12,000-a-year Millfield School in Somerset. The Conservative, who is contesting the seat of Wells, asked the children for their views as they discussed the topic of Scottish independence. When one girl said she'd vote to leave the UK, Mr Heappey, 36, replied: "Why don't you f*** off back to Scotland?"

Tough new porn laws could mean viewers of adult content are forced to verify their age at the post office before accessing explicit material online. Online restrictions are being brought in thanks to the Tory Government's Digital Economy Act, which received Royal Assent last week. The new rules make it more difficult for children to access adult material because of the new age verification process.

A shadowy operation involving big data, billionaire friends of Trump and the disparate forces of the Leave campaign heavily influenced the result of the EU referendum. Is our electoral process still fit for purpose?

Theresa May has accused European politicians and officials of deliberately misrepresenting the UK’s position over Brexit in an attempt to affect the result of the general election at the formal launch of the campaign.

More than 500 school head teachers have written to Theresa May accusing her of pushing Britain’s education system to breaking point. Conservative plans to “rebalance” schools funding will result in £3 billion of cuts to school budgets across the country, which teachers say will see many schools lose thousands of pounds. The letter was sent by Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, and signed by more than 500 heads teachers.

Business is booming at Olsztyn-Mazury airport in northeast Poland: Its two weekly flights, both to the U.K., are booked up all summer and almost full for winter. Then it’s a trip into the unknown. With the clock now ticking on two years of Brexit negotiations, Poland looks more vulnerable to a painful divorce between the U.K. and European Union than anywhere else. Poland is the biggest net recipient of EU aid and also the continent’s largest provider of cross-border labor. And it’s in the arrivals halls at provincial airports like this former military base 160 kilometers (99 miles) north of Warsaw where those two things meet.
