Main party leaders campaign in region for second day

Our region is the centre of attention once again for the big hitters of the General Election campaign today.

This morning Jeremy Corbyn was at Leeds City College to launch Labour's Education plans.

The Labour leader though had one message for students in Leeds - urging them to register to vote.

Here is what people we spoke to who went to see him had to say:

When asked by ITV News whether a Labour government would abolish tuition fees - worth up to £9,250 a year at English universities - Mr Corbyn remained tight-lipped and said "you'll have to wait for the manifesto."

Later Mr Corbyn addressed supporters outside Garforth Leisure Centre.

The Prime Minister was in Lincolnshire - hours after it was announced that the Crown Prosecution service would not be bringing criminal charges over police inquiries into alleged Conservative expenses fraud during the 2015 election.

Lincolnshire Police was one of 14 forces to have passed on files to prosecutors, but in a statement today the CPS said there was insufficient evidence to prove any wrongdoing.

Previously Lincoln Conservative Karl McCartney had said that both he and his election agent had acted honestly.

Theresa May was keen to focus on the recent positive news about the British steel industry as she met workers in Scunthorpe, with her campaign firmly focused on the economy.
