    Labour has announced it would legislate to ensure TV debates become a permanent feature of general election campaigns. Ed Miliband told the Observer it was time "these debates belong to the people not the prime minister of the day". On Friday, David Cameron repeated that he would not take part in more than one debate before polling day. Full story here.
