Labour makes NHS pledge as Tories promise new apprenticeships

It’s now been a week since the election was called,
and today the campaigns continue.

Rishi Sunak is heading to the South West, where he
will likely be wanting to push the Tories’ new plan, announced today, to axe
some degrees and instead increase the number of apprenticeships.

Over in the Labour camp, they’re in the West
Midlands and planning to focus on the NHS, with a pledge to meet a key target
of 18-week waits for treatment within five years.

And the Liberal Democrats are launching their
campaign in Wales, with a focus on the farming industry. We’ll be covering it all
and more.
