Jim Murphy won't rule out talking with the SNP after the election, but is that why the public are so fed up with politicians, Andrew Neil asks. Mr Murphy says the election can't be based on what happens after the vote - let's have the contest, then see what happens, he says.

Jim Murphy won't be drawn on post-election negotiations. He repeats - as has every other politician of any stripe - that his party is aiming to the biggest after the election. If we are the biggest party, he says, we will put our policies to a vote. If the SNP vote for it, "that's nice". If they don't, it's "their mistake".

In 1979, the Labour government was brought down by one vote, where the SNP voted with the Tories, Jim Murphy says. I'm determined they won't do that again, he adds.

If polls are repeated on election day, it would be "bloody awful" for Labour in Scotland, Jim Murphy admits. But it would also let the Tories in - something Scots would hold against the SNP for years to come, he adds.

What are the grounds for optimism, Andrew Neil asks Jim Murphy. Mr Murphy says undecided voters are listening to his party again - they are realising the biggest party gets to form the government. You cannot vote for the Labour party by proxy, he adds.

Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy is on Sunday Politics now. He reiterates the party has not been good enough or strong enough north of the border, but there is a sense of optimism now. They have a "pretty radical" programme that will help narrow the polls, Mr Murphy says.

The Conservatives will be looking for a new candidate in Dudley North, Tim Montgomerie says. Afzal Amin, let's not forget, says the allegations against him are completely untrue.

Tim Montgomerie tells Sunday Politics that claims a Conservative candidate at the general election schemed with the English Defence League to win votes are a big blow to the party. Afzal Amin was someone the party had placed high hopes in, Mr Montgomerie says. While we've become somewhat used to UKIP having some issues with its candidates, it's clear the Tories aren't immune to similar problems, he adds.

"I've never believed in cash for favours," Jack Dromey says, as he's pressured about Labour's links with the trade unions. On the other hand, Labour might have one hedge fund manager as a donor, but the Conservatives have "a queue" of them, he adds.

Inequality is narrowing under the coalition, Lord Scriven says, but it actually got worse under Labour. Millionaires are paying more in tax under the coalition than they did during the last Labour parliament, he adds.

Lib Dem peer Lord Scriven says the British public are clear they can't trust Labour on the economy and can't trust the Tories on "the poor". It's a head and heart debate, he says. People are looking for a party that can finish the job of sorting the economy but also doing it in a fair way.
