    Ed Miliband is now on his feet, to jeers from the Tory side. He responds by saying "let's see if they are still cheering on Friday" - a reference to the outcome of the Rochester by-election.

  13. More on Recklesspublished at 12:02 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2014

    The BBC's Nick Robinson tells Daily Politics other parties would be "absolutely crucified" if they had made comments like Mr Reckless' on immigration, adding there is a tension between "authenticity and not appearing extreme".

    It was the end of an era in the Scottish Parliament on Monday as Alex Salmond took part in his last First Minister's Questions.

  17. Reaction to Recklesspublished at 11:53 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2014

    Labour's Emma Reynolds tells Daily Politics that Mr Reckless' comments were "very worrying", claiming that he came "perilously close" to advocating repatriation. And for the Conservatives, Treasury minister Andrew Leadsom says UKIP's approach is "incoherent" and the only way to reform immigration rules is by remaining within the EU.

  18. UKIP rules out EU deportationspublished at 11:50 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2014

    Mark Reckless, UKIP's candidate in Rochester, has come under fire after appearing to suggest EU migrants living legally in the UK might only be able to stay for a "fixed period" in the event of the UK pulling out of the EU. UKIP's immigration spokesman Stephen Woolfe tells the BBC's Daily Politics that there was no question of anyone being deported. EU citizens with a legal right to be in the UK, he says, will be able to stay and would not have to apply for a work permit.

    On a more light-hearted note, Home Secretary Theresa May is on Desert Island Discs - a rite of passage for politicians with leadership ambitions - this Sunday. And continuing the musical theme, former Hear'Say singer Myleene Klass has criticised Labour's mansion tax plans, prompting Ed Miliband to describe the idea as "Pure and Simple" - a reference to the party's number one hit.

    The economy and the NHS are always popular topics for David Cameron and Ed Miliband to dwell on respectively.
