In Leeds, Social Democratic Party leader William Clouston has just launched his manifesto, telling supporters: 'We’ve been away a while and it’s lovely to be back'. The 36-page document promises to put 'family, neighbourhood and nation' front and centre, and Clouston speaks about the 'epidemic of family breakdown', claiming 'a British 16-year-old is more likely to have a screen in their room than a father in the house'.

His speech also covers the 'awful duopoly' of Tory and Labour, reindustrialisation and renationalising some sectors. The party’s stance on sex and gender is also prominent throughout.
