  1. Round-uppublished at 00:00

    A round-up of today's events in the election campaign, on a day when the arrival of a certain little bundle of joy - rather than the party leaders - dominated the news.

    Nevertheless, the main party leaders used the last weekend of campaigning before polling day to try to win over wavering voters.

    * David Cameron urged people to choose their "preferred PM" rather than vote tactically for the Lib Dems or UKIP

    * Nick Clegg announced a Lib Dem pledge to double the number of apprenticeships to "bring youth unemployment to the lowest level ever" - He accused the "left and right of British politics" of planning cuts "for ideological reasons

    * SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said people across Scotland, including Labour voters, had been "appalled" at Ed Miliband's refusal to work with the SNP to keep out a Conservative government.

    *Mr Miliband spoke at a Labour rally which also featured a host of celebrities backing the party, including Jason Isaacs, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Michelle Collins and Paul O'Grady - who joked that he might go to live in Venice if the Conservatives are re-elected

  5. Lib Dem split would be 'disaster' says Cleggpublished at 23:26

    Nick Clegg says it would be a "disaster" if the Liberal Democrats split under pressure to support a Conservative government in another hung parliament.

    In an interview with The Independent on Sunday, the deputy prime minister says that, in the event of another hung Parliament, there would be a "strong sense of national duty" for his party to act in the interest of the country as a whole.

    However, the Lib Dem leader says he will not "go against the collective will" of his party.

    Quote Message

    When we're subjected to a great deal of pressure, as I've discovered all parties do going into a coalition - what happened then was that previous Liberal parties split and that's when pressure turned into disaster. And every single day of my leadership I have always said the one thing I will never, ever do as a leader is allow my party to split... I would never have the party go into a coalition government against its own collective will."

  8. Politics secondpublished at 23:02

    As you will have noticed, there is less politics than usual in our customary round up of the Sunday papers.

    The royal birth has certainly knocked the politics into a distant second place this weekend.

    Ed to move into Downing Street?

    Looking at the most recent polls it is clear that unless UKIP supporters switch in significant numbers to the Conservatives, Ed Miliband will be moving into Downing Street. The SNP/Labour situation is irrelevant really.

    The comments from Clare Gerada should be a wake up call to us all. She knows what she is talking about and is speaking and acting from a desire to do the best for the NHS. The Health and Social Care Act has been a disaster for the NHS because it puts competition at the heart of the NHS, rather than integration of services. Private companies may at times provide good care but their main objective is profit. Another five years of privatisation will change the NHS beyond all recognition.

    Celebrity endorsements

    It's taken a while , but the trendy left celebrities are wheeled out by Labour.Confirmation that they seek power rather than social justice answering to a Hampstead elite rather than ordinary people. Pure hypocrisy by the party and by the likes of Paul O'Grady.
