Prime minister quizzed by radio listeners
Boris Johnson has been quizzed on his private life, Russian interference in UK politics, and Labour's plans to provide free broadband for all.
The prime minister was taking part in a phone-in with listeners on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Asked why he had declined to publish a report by parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee on the possibility of Russian interference in British politics, he said: "Because I see absolutely no reason to change the normal procedures for publishing ISC reports just because there is an election."
The report includes evidence from the intelligence services concerning alleged attempts by Russia to influence the results of the 2016 EU referendum and 2017 general election.
Candidates will be briefed on danger signs to watch for, and will also be urged not to go door-knocking alone.
The issue of MPs' security has gained heightened attention since the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox during the 2016 EU referendum campaign.
She said the scheme would cost taxpayers an additional £76bn a year, and would be funded by a new carbon tax as well as taxes on higher earners.
"The problem with our benefits system, and it's been made worse by the Conservatives over the last nine years, is it's conditional and it's punitive," Berry said.
It leaves gaps for people to fall through as a threat, and we need to take that threat away and rethink welfare altogether, and this is our solution."
"Only the Green Party has the policies and ambition to eliminate the cruelty of the benefits system and tackle poverty head-on.
A guaranteed minimum income for every UK resident is a further building block of the Green New Deal that will transform all our lives.”
