BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Will Tory manifesto contain any big surprises?

Rishi Sunak tries to claw back the initiative.

After what is seen as one of the biggest blunders in recent political history, Rishi Sunak is trying to claw back the initiative. So will there be a big surprise in tomorrow's Tory manifesto that could take the heat off the prime minister?

And as Mr Sunak tells the BBC it has become harder for people to own their own home under the Conservatives, we ask what parties are offering on housing in the election.

Also on the programme:

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is in Israel as the country is engulfed in political chaos. Can he make a difference this time?

And after Emmanuel Macron's shock decision to call a snap parliamentary election we ask whether the French president's gamble is backfiring - and what is drawing so many young people across Europe to the far-right.
