  1. Nick Clegg on Nepal earthquake

    Here's a bit more from Lib Dem leader speaking earlier:

    We have, as a country, a very long standing relationship based on history and friendship between Britain and Nepal, and I think our hearts especially go out to those people who are worried about family and friends who might have been in Nepal, on holiday, on business, visiting that beautiful country but also I'd like to make a particular remark about the Gurkha community and the community here in the United Kingdom. We as a nation owe an infinite debt of gratitude to the Gurkhas."

    "What about politically obsessed gardeners?" I hear you ask. Well, fear not, B&Q has unveiled just the thing:

  3. Marathon men

    The general election campaign might have felt like a slog to some - but hats off to the candidates running the full 26.2 miles around London this morning. Joining Paula Radcliffe and co are Edward Timpson, Alun Cairns, Graham Evans and Richard Drax of the Conservative Party and Labour's Dan Jarvis. We're tracking their progress and will report back when they've crossed the line.

  4. Lord Rennard role?

    Nick Clegg told Murnaghan that the party's former campaign guru Lord Rennard was "not in any shape or form" providing advice to him in terms of the campaign but that he didn't know whether Lord Rennard was putting leaflets through doors:

    It's a free country and he's a Liberal Democrat and of course he's perfectly entitled to do whatever he wishes in his own time. I don't know what the 45,000 odd Liberal Democrat members are doing in every part of the country. I do know who I have asked to provide a formal role in formal positions in our election campaign and Lord Rennard does not count amongst those people"

  5. A fond farewell?

    The Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has said there was a "straightforward, professional handshake" when he said goodbye to David Cameron. Speaking on Sky's Murnaghan show Mr Clegg said he gave "credit" to David Cameron "that he and I put our party differences aside for the benefit of the country as a whole".

  6. 'Farage sharpening Osborne's axe'

    Nick Clegg maintains his argument that only enough Liberal Democrat MPs can prevent Labour being reliant on the SNP or the Conservatives being reliant on UKIP.

    Mr Clegg has said that he would not back a Labour government which relied on SNP support.

    Equally, he says, nobody wants to wake up after the election "to find Nigel Farage sharpening George Osborne's axe".

  7. 'Playing you for fools'

    Returning to the election campaign, Nick Clegg says both the Conservatives and Labour are guilty of "deception" over their post-election plans on borrowing and cuts.

    "They are desperate and they are playing you for fools," he says.

    This is because "they are not going to win" and they know it, he argues.

  8. Clegg: 'Our hearts go out' to Nepal

    Nick Clegg

    Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg is speaking in south London.

    He says "our hearts, especially, go out to those who are worried about family and friends" in Nepal, after nearly 2,000 people were killed on Saturday in the worst earthquake there in more than 80 years.

    This includes the Gurkha community in the UK, the Lib Dem leader adds.

  9. 'Gordon should know better'

    Sky News

    Former SNP leader Alex Salmond tells Dermot Murnaghan that dire warnings about what would happen if Labour and the SNP formed a government were "nonsense from the Conservative Party".

    On Gordon Brown's warning that the SNP would bring "chaos and constant crisis" to Westminster in order to further SNP independence aims, Mr Salmond says: "Gordon should know better." He adds that the SNP is "surging again in the polls" because it is trying fight a positive campaign. "That's what moves people into politics," he says, not "doom laden" prophesies.

  10. Three-party power play

    Sky News

    Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood is challenged on Murnaghan that her party is coat-tailing the SNP. "We do share a lot of common ground with the SNP and also the Greens." She said the three parties would work together if they hold the balance of power after the election. She added that Plaid Cymru "wouldn't prop up a Conservative government". The Conservatives have very little support in Wales, she adds. "They've wreaked havoc on our communities going back to the 1980s and the pit closures."

  11. Red lines

    Sky News

    On Sky's Murnaghan, Nick Clegg signals that he would consider an arrangement with the Conservatives to form a government, but reiterates his red line about UKIP also joining in. "I don't think Ed Miliband and David Cameron will be prime minister in their own right," he adds, saying the Lib Dems would not support a Labour/SNP government.

  12. 'Bone-headed refusal'

    Sky News

    In a pre-recorded interview on Murnaghan, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg says he is "angry" with Labour's "absolute bone-headed refusal to apologise for presiding over a crashed economy" in 2008. If the Lib Dems were ever in coalition with the Labour Party, they would take steps to stop them "messing up the economy". "We would provide the economic brain that the Labour Party appear to have left behind somewhere," he says.

  13. A question of sport

    Yesterday, Prime Minster David Cameron asked people to support West Ham, although he is an Aston Villa fan.

    On Murnaghan today, in a pre-recorded interview, David Cameron was asked whether he remembered watching the European Cup final as a child. He declined to answer when it was."I'm not doing quiz time, because I'll get them all wrong," he says. "I haven't been for years and years but I try and keep up".

    He is also challenged on why he said in 2001 that he was not a football fan. "I'm not a regular attender [at matches]. I used to play football as a kid, my son plays football, and I try to keep up with what's happening in the Premier League." Returning to the European Cup, Mr Cameron is challenged on when Aston Villa won the European Cup, ("It was early eighties. I'm not going to give you a date, because I'll get it wrong") and who scored the winning goal: "You're wasting your precious interview time, Dermot," Mr Cameron said.

  14. 'Absolute nonsense'

    Sky News

    UKIP deputy chair Suzanne Evans tells Dermot Murnaghan that the Labour pledge to cap housing rent is "absolute nonsense" as landlords will not be incentivised to keep properties "up to scratch".

  15. The 1970s version of a Twitter Q&A

    The Andrew Marr Show earlier looked at the Labour government of the late 1970s, and its relations with the SNP. Among the archive footage was this shot of members of the public asking questions of then PM James Callaghan:

  16. 'Pretty Dickensian'

    Sky News

    Some of the housing stock in central London is "pretty Dickensian", shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds adds.

  17. Housing 'security and stability'

    Sky News

    Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds tells Dermot Murnaghan on Sky News that Labour is "not suggesting the government determines the level of rent as part of its rent cap plans". She adds: "People deserve more security, stability and peace of mind," that would come with a three year tenancy.

  18. PM on the royal baby

    Sky News

    Dermot Murnaghan asks David Cameron if he is "disappointed" that the royal family do not use the NHS.

    On whether the impending royal baby should be born in a private or an NHS hospital, the PM says:

    It's a total matter of choice what people use... The NHS is superb, but I believe in choice."

  19. Cameron on Libya

    Sky News

    David Cameron is on Murnaghan on Sky News. When challenged on whether UK foreign policy on Libya has contributed to migrants in the Mediterranean, he says:

    We did stand by Libya. I made sure the new Libyan prime minister got the help and support he needed... I accept this hasn't worked yet."

  20. Labour-SNP 'risk'

    David Cameron will discuss economic stability in his upcoming speech, but he will also return to a familiar Conservative campaign attack line in his speech later:

    You only get these things with a strong and stable government - not one held to ransom in a Labour SNP deal. That's not the excitement Britain needs. That's not a risk Britain should take."
