With rigorous academic analysis showing that Theresa May gives a straight answer just nine percent of the time, how can we ever expect to hold her to account? Maybe the best we can do is click the "angry" button during her Facebook live interviews.

Conversely, the Lib Dems headed to a nightclub to talk about drugs. Have a listen to the latest edition of the British Dream to catch up on another exciting campaign week.
