UK election news LIVE: Boris Johnson back on campaign trail after calamitous start to week

Boris Johnson will be back seeking to recover from a calamitous start to the week as he returns to the campaign trail today.

The PM was first criticised for taking a journalist's phone and refusing to look at a child sleeping on a hospital floor, before his party was accused of lying about Labour activists punching one of Matt Hancock's aides.

He will visit north-west England and north Wales on Tuesday, while Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will also be in the north-west and Scotland. Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson will be down in the south-west of Britain.

Polls open on Thursday, and all parties are heading into the final stretch as they attempt to clinch the keys to Downing Street.
