Reality Check

Speaking to reporters in London today, Donald Trump repeated a claim he has made before about Brexit:
“You know that I was a fan of Brexit, I called it the day before. I was opening up Turnberry, the day before Brexit… and they asked me whether or not Brexit would happen and I said yes and everybody smiled and they laughed and I said yes it’s going to happen in my opinion, it was just my opinion.
“And the next day they had the election [sic] and I was right.”
This claim is wrong.
Donald Trump’s visit to cut the ribbon at his golf course in Turnberry in Ayrshire, Scotland was on Friday 24 June 2016, the day after the EU membership referendum was held. The result was announced in the small hours of Friday morning.
He said Brexit was a "fantastic thing" but did not claim to have predicted it on that day.
He did give an interview to Fox News in the US on 22 June, the day before the referendum, giving a mild endorsement to Brexit. "When you look at the things that are going on over there my inclination would be to go it alone."
He admitted however that he knew little about it: “I don't think anybody should listen to me because I haven't really focused on it very much."
And in an interview on 1 June, while the referendum campaign was in full swing, the interviewer had to remind him what Brexit actually was.
However, he has claimed to have predicted Brexit before, in June 2018.
PM claimed the London Bridge attacker was out of prison because of a Labour law, which he had opposed.

Reality Check
Speaking to ITV's This Morning, Jeremy Corbyn said that Labour's manifesto would put UK public spending at the same level as France and Germany.
This analysis, carried out by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) think tank, supports Mr Corbyn's claim.

According to the IFS, Labour's plans would push total spending to a level never previously sustained in the UK in peace time. However, it adds that this level would not be unusual compared with other European countries.
The IFS analysis shows that, by 2023, total public spending under Labour would still be lower than both France and Germany - as a percentage of national income.
But the IFS has questioned whether a large shift in the size of the UK state can be achieved over such a relatively short period of time.
Reality Check has compared the parties' public spending plans, which you can read in full here.
