It's a busy night for political interviews. Now we turn to ITV's Peston programme, which includes an interview with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The show is broadcast live on Twitter from 20:05 here, external.

We’re coming close to the end of the programme now and Andrew Neil turns to the question of Jo Swinson’s own position as Liberal Democrat leader.

He asks how well she would need to do on 12 December to keep her job.

Ms Swinson doesn’t give a quantifiable answer but insists she is “staying as Lib Dem leader”.

She says she is excited about building a liberal movement and argues that “liberalism is the answer” to Britain’s problems.

Andrew Neil asks if she will have to resign if she loses MPs in the election.

“I am here to stay - and we are going to get a great result.”

The interview now moves on to other parts of the Lib Dem manifesto – specifically their proposal to scrap the bedroom tax - a policy which reduced housing benefit for social tenants judged to have more bedrooms than necessary.

The Lib Dems were in a coalition government when the policy was introduced. Andrew Neil points out that Jo Swinson voted for the tax nine times

“I am sorry about that,” she replies, adding “it was one of the things we got wrong”.

She defends her party’s record in the coalition government arguing that they “fought many battles” on issues such as money for poorer pupils, cutting tax for lower earners and introducing same sex marriage.

However she acknowledges that they didn’t win every battle and says her party should not have “gone along with” the bedroom tax.

Andrew Neil says the Lib Dems’ hopes of securing a Brexit referendum in the next Parliament may depend on SNP support – support which may in turn be dependent on agreeing to a Scottish independence referendum.

Would that be a price worth paying, he asks.

Jo Swinson, herself Scottish, insists she would not support another referendum on independence arguing it would cause “uncertainty for Scottish businesses and the economy”.

“I will vote for a People’s Vote and I think SNP MPs will also vote for that legislation because they know that’s what people in Scotland want,” she says.

Andrew Neil now asks Jo Swinson if the Liberal Democrats are still campaigning on a promise to stop Brexit altogether.

The party had been campaigning for another referendum on UK membership of the EU, but in September it promised to cancel Brexit entirely, if elected.

Ms Swinson says her party wants to stop Brexit “through democratic means, whether that is through an election or through a People’s Vote”.

She hits back at accusations that promising to revoke Brexit altogether was “a major mistake” that has cost her party in the polls.

She argues most Remainers support the policy and points out that the Liberal Democrats’ anti-Brexit stance won them support in the European elections earlier this year.

But Andrew Neil suggests her position could be seen as undemocratic as, even if the Lib Dems got into government, they would likely have won the support of fewer voters than the number who voted to Leave in the 2016 EU referendum.

“We work within the system that we have,” she replies adding that “any government works on the basis of trying to get a majority and then implement their manifesto.”

The Lib Dem leader is sitting down for a 30 minute interview with BBC presenter Andrew Neil.

He opens the questioning by asking if they can conduct the interview “on the basis that you will not be prime minister”.

Ms Swinson has previously said she was running to be prime minister in this election arguing that she could "do a better job than either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn".

Replying to the question, she says that while she would “obviously love to be prime minister… if you look at the polls that is not the most likely scenario”.

But she says she's glad to be standing up for people who want to stay in the European Union.

Boris Johnson has said the "parliamentary agony will be over" by the end of January as Brexit will be "done" - if the Tories secure a majority in next week's election.

The prime minister told ITV's Robert Peston that everyone will be able to stop talking about Brexit after 31 January.

"The misery and tedium... wil be over," Mr Johnson says. We've written about what "get Brexit done" actually means.

The PM's full interview airs from 20:00 over on Twitter, external.

But, before that, Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson sits down with the BBC's Andrew Neil from 19:30 on BBC One.

Speaking at the Nato summit, the Prime Minister said: "I want to strengthen MI5. Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party want to install a Home Secretary who wants to disband MI5."

When asked for specifics of how the Conservatives planned to strengthen MI5, the BBC were pointed in the direction of a planned review into Britain's security, defence, and foreign policy, which will include the intelligence services.

The Conservatives say this will be the biggest review "since the end of the Cold War", and that it will be a priority in 2020 if they are elected.

The last such review was conducted in 2015, and the one before that in 2010; so the timing is not necessarily unusual. But the Conservatives say this is the first review which will include foreign policy.

The review will be covered by existing departmental budgets, so no extra funding is being allocated to it.

On Mr Johnson's other claim, Labour has denied that Jeremy Corbyn wants to disband MI5.

Current shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott signed a parliamentary motion in 1989 calling for the abolition of MI5, but has since changed her views.

Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell says the Conservatives' failure to curb bills has cost the average household an extra £5,949 a year since 2010. But how has Labour arrived at this figure and do their sums add up?

Labour has provided a breakdown of annual bills and costs, which it says have risen since 2010.

But there are several factors to be considered.

The Princess Royal was trending on Twitter earlier after online users suggested a video showed she had snubbed President Trump and First Lady Melania.

Footage filmed during last night's Nato reception at Buckingham Palace appeared to show the Queen signalling to her daughter to come and greet Mr Trump and his wife in the Music Room - but Princess Anne did not move from her position in the doorway.

The video led Twitter users to speculate the Queen was giving her daughter a telling off for not greeting the couple - which couldn't be further from the truth, according to the Press Association.

Apparently, Princess Anne was standing back as she was not part of the official welcoming party, and the monarch was looking to see which politician was next.

The princess was then seen raising her hands in the air, laughing and remarking "it's just me", before adding "and this lot", pointing to the members of the household behind her.

Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson admits her party got things wrong in coalition with the Conservatives – and says they should have stopped the so-called bedroom tax.

Speaking to Andrew Neil in the latest of his series of BBC leader interviews, Ms Swinson apologised for backing the reduction in benefit for people in housing association or council property with a spare room, saying: "I am sorry I did that. It was not the right policy and we should have stopped it".

Ms Swinson was pressed on a number of austerity policies she backed during the coalition government with the Conservatives, which ran from 2010 to 2015.

On bedroom tax, she said: "I have previously said - and I am happy to say again - [it] was wrong. I am sorry about that and it is one of the things we did get wrong."

Ms Swinson said she was proud of some policies the coalition introduced, like same-sex marriage and more money for schools.

She said: "There are many things we are very proud of and where we made a difference.”

But she added: "Of course there were things where we didn't win those battles and I am sorry about that - it was not a Liberal Democrat government, it was a coalition government."

Jeremy Corbyn is a “marmite figure” among Labour voters, the Welsh Labour Leader, Mark Drakeford says.

In an interview with BBC Wales, Mr Drakeford admitted some traditional Welsh Labour voters were put off by Mr Corbyn, but he suggested they would vote for the party anyway because they like Labour’s program for government.

He says: “There is no doubt Jeremy Corbyn is a marmite figure on the doorstep, there are some people who will vote Labour but aren’t reconciled to Jeremy’s own leadership.

"But for every person I’ve met who tells me that, I meet somebody else, very often a young person in this election, who is voting Labour because of Jeremy Corbyn.”

Jeremy Corbyn has not yet visited Wales in this election campaign, and Mark Drakeford denied that senior Welsh Labour figures had also been absent. He said Mr Corbyn would be visiting Wales this weekend and the campaign was a “real team effort”.

Radio 4 PM

As you may have seen, a video of world leaders apparently laughing about US President Donald Trump has been doing the rounds.

Footage taken during last night's Nato reception at Buckingham Palace showed Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, UK PM Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron discussing an impromptu press conference held by Mr Trump.

Mr Trump responded by calling Mr Trudeau "two-faced".

Elisabeth Bumiller, Washington Bureau Chief at the New York Times, says the footage is "the President's worst nightmare".

She told BBC Radio 4's PM programme: "There's nothing he likes less than having people make fun of him.

"These are apparently our closest allies, gossiping about the President without him."

Mr Trump has impeachment proceedings happening back in the US, with the House Judiciary Committee today beginning their hearings into his conduct.

Ms Bumiller argues that while previous American presidents have "sought refuge in foreign trips during times of domestic turmoil at home, this has been the opposite for Trump".

Boris Johnson has continued campaigning after the meeting of Nato leaders ended in Watford.

He toured Red Bull Racing's F1 factory and event space in Milton Keynes.

The site is home to all of the Red Bull team's cars from over the years and includes a pit-stop simulation to put engineers through their paces.

Mr Johnson was challenged to swap-out the tires of an F1 car in a race against the clock.

His first attempt took 17.6 seconds, with a second try taking 16.6 seconds. It's quite far off the professionals - Red Bull's record is 1.82 seconds.

And the Prime Minister used the setting to make a series of puns - he said the UK is "stuck in the pits" and needs to get "back on track".

Meanwhile, a journalist from the Daily Mirror newspaper dressed as a chicken - yes, the Mirror Chicken - loitered outside the building - but, PA Media reports, they did not attempt to cross any roads to get closer to the PM.

And Mr Johnson declined a photographer's request to sit in an F1 car on display - saying: "You would literally have to prise me out."
