THERESA May has revealed she is a massive Harry Potter fan - but refused to compare herself to any of the characters.

The Prime Minister told youngsters she had read all of JK Rowling's wizard adventures on a school visit in Birmingham this afternoon.

But asked at a later campaign event which character she identifies with, she laughed and said: “I don’t think I’m similar to any of the characters in Harry Potter – but they are a great read for adults as well as children.”

Talk also turned to football during the visit to Nishkam Primary School in Handsworth and the eight-year-olds also showed off their knowledge of artist Henri Rousseau.

Discussing books with one pupil who was a Harry Potter fan, Mrs May said: "I've read them all. They are all very good."

She then travelled to a factory in Staffordshire, where she was asked about Labour’s manifesto launch earlier today.

The PM said Jeremy Corbyn’s party will not be able to deliver its promises because its sums “don’t add up”.

And she added that their “nonsensical economic policies” mean they will produce “a coalition of chaos” if they won the election on June 8.

Probed by The Sun about the manifesto on a visit to Screw Fix in Stoke on Trent, she was asked if she was worried Jeremy Corbyn would will screw or fix the economy.

Mrs May replied: "You can always trust the Sun to come up with a brilliant line like that.

"I think the people that ought to be worried about the Labour manifesto are ordinary working people who will find themselves paying the price for the spending commitments made by Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.

"I think the sums were probably dreamt up by Diane Abbott and actually these policies are not sensible economic polices they would actually damage the economy.

"Businesses would go under we would have fewer jobs and less money to put into the NHS and other public services

"I think it's a very clear choice - me and my team with a plan for stronger economy and Labour whose plan doesn't add up."
