Summary
A row about tax between Labour and the Conservatives continues after Keir Starmer accused Rishi Sunak of lying during their TV debate
The Conservative leader had claimed that a Labour government would mean £2,000 of tax rises per working household
He also said the figures had been costed by "independent Treasury officials" - which the department later distanced itself it from
Starmer said Sunak was "desperately lashing out and resorting to lies", while the Tories said Labour was "throwing stones from a house made from the thinnest of glass"
Meanwhile, the Green Party are launching their plans for the NHS today, promising £20bn in capital investment for hospital buildings and medical equipment
The majority of party leaders - including Starmer and Sunak - are in Normandy today commemorating D-Day
