Viewers felt the corporation's election broadcast had emphasised the strong performance of the Greens and Liberal Democrats rather than focusing on Mr Farage's (pictured) victory in the UK contest. They also took aim at BBC presenters for allowing former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell to launch an attack on the Brexit Party's finances. Mr Campbell, a close former aide of Tony Blair, said Mr Farage's party had had the 'roubles coming in' - a reference to the Brexit campaign's alleged links to Russian money. However the Liberal Democrats also felt they had not been given enough airtime.

The European elections earthquake will deliver an extraordinary array of new British MEPs to Brussels including Jacob Rees-Mogg's sister Annunziata (centre right) who quit the Tories after 32 years.

Sam Espensen, who runs Bristol Spirit in Redfield, Bristol, sparked a fierce online debate about the financial difficulties businesses face. Sam wrote on Twitter (inset): 'If you just ask for tap water, it feels like you are telling us you don't value our business enough to buy a drink, which is the reason we exist. 'If you come to Bristol Spirit and you only drink free tap water - we will not make enough money from your table to break even, let alone turn a profit. Sorry to sound harsh but it REALLY affects our business - we have 26 covers in a sitting, and in the last week we've had at least 14 people just drink water.'

South Yorkshire Police previously said a 37-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman had been arrested on suspicion of murder.

BEN FOGLE: If the current overcrowding continues, with hundreds of climbers waiting in line for 12 hours or more high in the 'death zone', I fear the toll in Nepal will only grow.
