* Mr Cameron also said pensions campaigner Ros Altmann would be made a Tory peer and minister for consumer protection if the party wins the election

That's it for tonight folks, see you tomorrow from 08:00 BST, for all the reaction analysis and news of the main political stories of the day - including the Andrew Marr Show from 09:00, which features Prime Minister David Cameron, Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Party leader Nigel Farage has insisted that UKIP is not a one-issue party solely preoccupied with issues surrounding immigration and Europe. He told a public meeting that the party's pledges of spending 2% of the UK's GDP on defence and of a "brownfield building revolution" to ease the UK's housing shortage proved it was not a "one-trick pony". Mr Farage, speaking in Ramsgate, Kent, in the South Thanet constituency, said this week was UKIP's "coming of age" with its manifesto launch.

Labour leader Ed Miliband is used to cameras flashing and requests for "selfies", but even he may've been somewhat taken aback when his battle bus rolled into Chester earlier today.

I'll let the Chester Chronicle take up the story, external :

And what makes the Chronicle's story even more astounding, is that they've got hold of a video of the whole thing. 

Just a subtle reminder that there is quite a bit of politics on your BBC TV tomorrow, kicking off with the Andrew Marr show from 09:00 BST on BBC One.

Andrew's guests include Prime Minister David Cameron, Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable and Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.

Set the Teasmade for 08:30 and you'll be ready for what looks likely to be a cracking show.

The number of NHS nurses in England is set to fall by almost 2,000 over the next four years according to government projections, Labour has said.

Accusing the Conservatives of having a "secret plan", Labour's Andy Burnham said fewer nurses would push hospitals "over the edge".

But the Tories say the projections Labour has based its claim on are "out of date" and they argue that the number of nurses has increased by 6,900 and "even this report shows that the number in training continues to rise".

The Conservatives would launch a sale of shares in Lloyds Banking Group to the general public if they form the government after 7 May, the party is to announce on Sunday.

Under the Tories' plan, shares in the bailed-out bank would go on sale to individual investors a year after the general election.

So far, the government has raised £9bn from selling part of the taxpayers' 43% share-holding in the bank, which had to be bailed out by the last Labour government during the global financial crisis of 2008-9.

Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to say on Sunday:

It being Saturday night, opinion polls commissioned by some of the Sunday newspapers are being released as the presses roll.

This time it's YouGov, for the Sunday Times, whose figures suggest Labour have a three-point lead over the Conservatives. These are the headlines:

Lab 36%

Con 33%

UKIP 13%

Lib Dem 8%

Green 5%

Across at the New Statesman, reporter Jonathan Portes has written a piece, external about the Conservatives' plan for welfare reform. He writes that the Tory plan for budget surplus is "dependent on large cuts to spending on working age social security benefits".

Here's a few more interesting stats from the Sunday Times Political Rich List we've just mentioned (see entry 19:24).

The figures also show that just 76 people accounted for 41% of all individual and corporate donations made to the political parties and other political causes in Britain over the past five years.
