Hello, I'm Sophie Rayworth. Welcome to your election headlines with one story dominating.
The BBC has learned that the Conservative Director of Campaigning
is being looked into over allegations about betting on the date of the general election.
Tony Lee is married to a Tory candidate, Laura Saunders,
who is also the subject of inquiries by the gambling commission.
Here's the political reaction
It's quite properly, being investigated now. How does it look?
Well, as I say, you and others looking at this will,
I'm sure be doing much more than just raising an eyebrow.
If it was one of my candidates, they'd be gone,
and their feet would not have touched the floor.
There's a wider point here that you touch on,
which is we've now had 14 years of chaos of division of politics,
being about self-entitlement,
and politics needs to be about service about public service.
We think there should be a cabinet office, inquiry,
I think the gambling commission will rightly look at this.
And I hope they come down heavy on those people.
Time now for two manifesto launches, first, the Scottish greens.
They're pledging to introduce a wealth tax on the richest people in the UK,
an end to oil and gas companies being able to advertise,
and a stop on all subsidies for fossil fuels.
The Cross Community Alliance party launched its Manifesto in Belfast.
It's contesting all 18 seats in Northern Ireland.
Alliance is pushing for reform of the Devol government, including
including changing how the assembly votes on contentious issues.
And if you want to see how the parties are fairing in the polls,
