Labour unveiled its most radical manifesto for a generation with a raft of spending plans costing £48 billion.
Leader Jeremy Corbyn announced a series of tax hikes, with a 45p rate of income tax on those earning more than £80,000 and a 50p tax rate for those on £123,000 or more.
Among a host of spending plans was £11.2bn to axe tuition fees for students and reintroduce maintenance grants.
The manifesto also contained plans to re-nationalise the railways, the Royal Mail and water companies.
