That's it for another day on the Politics Live page. We've had David Cameron announcing Conservative plans for the young unemployed, bishops warning about the state of democracy in the UK and a former member of Labour's NEC quitting the party to support UKIP to keep us busy today. Away from the campaign trail, the Home Office won a legal battle against a ruling to pay £224m to a US defence firm. We're back from 06:00 GMT to keep you posted on all the day's developments including the latest employment figures, so do join us then.
