Image source, Getty ImagesScotland's former first minister Alex Salmond tells Newsnight that Scottish independence will not be decided through an election, it will be decided through a referendum.
He says the election will decide whether decisions about Scotland's future will remain in Scotland's hands and the future "not be dictated by Theresa May".
Mr Salmond says: "Unlike the rather presumptuous, vainglorious announcements from the Conservative Party about what they're going to win, the SNP has never taken a single seat or a single vote for granted - so we'll let the electorate decide."
The Crown Prosecution Service is expected to decide tomorrow whether it will prosecute any Conservative campaigners for breaching election spending rules in 2015.
BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds points out the timing of the decision - it come just a day before people can come forward or drop out of the election race.
Newsnight is out and about looking at the importance of certain areas of the UK to the political parties.
Bishop Auckland is a Labour seat and is number 46 on the Tories' target list.
However, Newsnight political editor Nick Watt says it has been a Labour seat since 1935 and the Tories "have a big hurdle to climb".

Image source, Getty ImagesThe BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg says today's official launch of Labour's election campaign revealed that the party's strategy is to make it about Jeremy Corbyn's ideas - not his image.
She says: "They know they need to get their policies across because of the controversy about his personality."
On Wednesday, Labour will campaign on education - when they are expected to announce plans to scrap fees for people who go on to further education in England.
She says that Labour will be challenged "again and again" on the policies, including how they will be costed.
