Brexit Party news LIVE: Nigel Farage to announce policies as leaders prepare for Question Time special



Party leaders will continue their election campaigns across the country on Friday before going head-to-head in a television debate.

Here is what to expect on the election trail on Friday:

– Conservatives

Boris Johnson will take a trip to Nottinghamshire on Friday.

He has already visited the county several times since campaigning began.

The Tories have yet to officially unveil their election manifesto, but revealed plans on Friday morning for a higher stamp duty rate for non-UK residents.

The party said this aims to help more Britons get on the housing ladder.

– Labour

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will be campaigning in the Midlands on Friday, following his party’s manifesto launch yesterday.

He will be hoping for a positive reception to his vision for government, which was laid out during a half-hour speech in Birmingham.

The manifesto, titled It’s Time For Real Change, depicted what Mr Corbyn called the “most radical and ambitious plan to transform our country in decades”.

It pledged to invest in public services, take action to tackle climate change and return key utilities to public ownership.

– Liberal Democrats

The Lib Dem tour bus will take a trip to Scotland. 

Leader Jo Swinson will be joined by Willie Rennie, the leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, and activists in Glasgow.

The party announced late on Thursday that a Lib Dem government would commit to building 300,000 new homes a year. A third of the homes would be social rented homes, with a £10 billion capital infrastructure investment to support this.
