Broadband – where do Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems stand?
AS the parties are set to release their manifestos, each has different views on costs and spending - with Labour targeting broadband.
So, where do Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats stand on broadband? Here's what we know.
The Conservatives
Tories warned a state takeover of a high tech business like broadband would end in disaster.
In his victory speech after winning the Conservative leadership race, Boris Johnson said: "Like some slumbering giant, we are going to rise and ping off the guy ropes of self-doubt and negativity, with better education, better infrastructure, more police, fantastic full-fibre broadband sprouting in every household.
"We are going to unite this amazing country and we are going to take it forward."
Key pledges so far have included a £13.8bn increase in spending across all departments by 2021 and a £33.9bn boost for the health budget by 2023-24.
The party says it wants to recruit 6,000 extra GPs and deliver 50 million more appointments a year by 2024-25.
Labour
Jeremy Corbyn will unveil a new plan on November 15 to give free broadband to everyone in Britain - costing taxpayers a whopping £60billion.
The Labour leader will pledge to roll out the new state-controlled service over the next 10 years in the biggest offer of his General Election campaign yet.
It is the latest in a series of major renationalisation projects and would require seizing the telecoms service and major infrastructure network currently provided by firms including BT’s Openreach, Talk Talk, Virgin and Sky.
The cost of the move was estimated at an eye-watering £56billion, on top of almost £200billion of other nationalisation projects the left-wing leader has already pledged.
The cost of Labour’s plans to renationalise rail, energy, water and postal services would cost an estimated £196billion, according to Tory analysis.
The Liberal Democrats
The Liberal Democrats haven't released their manifesto yet, but are expected to do so either this or next week.
The Lib Dems haven't made their stance on broadband known yet, however they have pledged to invest the £50bn they say cancelling Brexit would save in public services and tackling inequality.
Key policies policies include 35 hours per week of free childcare from nine months and the recruitment of 20,000 more teachers as part of a £10bn-a-year investment in schools.
LATEST ON THE GENERAL ELECTION
They also wanted to improve access to lifelong learning by making available £10,000 to every adult to be spent on skills and training.
They say they would tackle climate change by insulating all low-income households by 2025, and would aim for the UK to be generating 80 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
They have also reiterated a long-held commitment to achieving parity in the treatment of mental and physical health, and say they'll invest £11bn in mental health services.
