Gordon Brown has accused David Cameron of stirring up English nationalism to try to win the election, and the SNP of misleading people over their offer to be part of a Labour-led administration.

The former PM told a gathering of fewer than a hundred voters in Fife that "the only way they can win is to build resentment in Scotland of the English and resentment in England of Scots" and that David Cameron was "whipping up English nationalism".

On the SNP, he said "people must realise they are not interested in a Labour government" and that only Labour would "immediately deal with food bank poverty, zero-hours poverty, inequality and the NHS". Large numbers of SNP MPs could mean "months of constitutional chaos", he warned.

Former Labour spin-doctor Alastair Campbell has responded to Prime Minister David Cameron's tweeted video of SNP leader Alex Salmond making a "joke" about writing Labour's budget.

As mentioned earlier, David Cameron has been appearing in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. Thankfully, perhaps, he wasn't giving a rendition of Benny Hill's Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West), which he apparently enjoys singing in the shower.

Instead, he was facing questions from 10 young voters, who quizzed him on topics such as the voting age, homelessness and the "tampon tax".

Most internet users know the 404 error page as a land of broken promises (and links) but the Lib Dems see it as just another space to get their message out.

They've previously used their website's error page to mock David Cameron and take a swipe at Ed Balls, external.

And today they've deployed it, external to poke fun at Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps, after he was denied claims he edited Wikipedia entries about himself and other MPs.

Childish? Maybe. Amusing? We'll let you decide.

Here's a bit more from the Nigel Farage interview being broadcast at 19:30 BST on BBC One with Evan Davis.

The UKIP leader said "you could argue" there are parts of the country where the police have withdrawn and Sharia law applied.

And he said turning a blind eye to such issues had led to "some of the most appalling sexual scandals that I think we've seen in our history".

Ed Miliband says he's getting the full support of his brother David during the general election campaign. The Labour leader says he regularly talks to his older sibling, who's now based in New York.

But he says the former foreign secretary - who he beat to the job of leading the party - won't be returning to British politics.

Asked on BBC Radio 5 live's John Pienaar whether "the door was still open" for his brother to return to politics, Mr Miliband says: "That's what we call 'curtain measuring' in my business John.

"I'm thinking up to 7 May, 10pm, 'cause that's where my focus is."

Nigel Farage also admits he struggled at the start of the election campaign because he tried to do too much.

During an often heated exchange with Evan Davis on BBC1's leader interviews, Mr Farage disputes claims he told US television there were parts of the UK that were "ghettoes" and "no-go areas" for the police.

However, he admits "perhaps at times that tone had to be used". The programme appears on BBC1 at 19:30 BST or on the Live Coverage tab above.

Nigel Farage has admitted he's used a tone to attack some immigrants and Muslims in the UK which was designed to "get noticed", but he's insisted it was necessary.

The UKIP leader told the BBC's Evan Davis the language he's used in the past about some Romanians and Muslim people who supported the Charlie Hebdo attacks "had to be used".

The UKIP flyer that was ripped apart by an English teacher last week was a classic - but it's far from the only example of dodgy political literature out there.

The PM tells BBC Radio 1 that he can't cite the "living wage" figure - that's the hourly rate campaigners say an individual must earn to cover basic living costs.

David Cameron says the rate differs "depending on different parts of the country" but - asked if he knew the rate for those outside London - adds: "I don't have those figures in my head."

Mr Cameron says staff at Downing Street are paid the living wage. About the lower "minimum wage", Mr Cameron says: "I don't want the minimum wage to go up at a rate, [that] the experts tell me, will increase unemployment."

Alex Salmond insists he was joking when he talked about writing the Labour budget at a public meeting - a video of which was tweeted today by David Cameron.

Mr Salmond says: "Obviously it was a joke, as you can see from the context of the meeting. So this was a real public meeting. We're real people."
