General election latest: Keir Starmer says culture of politics needs to change after betting revelations

Good morning. In just nine days, polling stations will open their doors and you’ll be able to cast your vote in this general election.

Before then, though, we’ll continue to see our fair share of campaigning from all the major political parties.

Labour leader Keir Starmer will today be out and about promoting his party’s mission to half knife crime in 10 years. He’ll say that, if elected as prime minister, he’ll chair an annual summit to track progress in the area. The Conservatives have already responded, saying Labour “consistently fail to tackle crime”

We’ll also see Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Home Secretary James Cleverley and Foreign Secretary David Cameron – more on what they’re up to later.

And elsewhere, Scotland’s Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey will also be on their respective campaign trails.

Lots to get through – stick around for the latest developments and, of course, the all-important analysis from our political colleagues.
