Douglas Carswell, UKIP's only MP following the election, is due on the Today programme shortly, after a major stand-off developed between him and senior UKIP figures over public money they are entitled to receive.

UKIP is entitled to around £650,000 of what's known as short money - public money which goes to opposition parties to help finance their backroom operations.

Mr Carswell was approached by UKIP's party secretary on Monday and asked to recruit 15 extra staff for his parliamentary office but the Clacton MP rejected the proposal.

He made it clear he was not going to agree to the plan which sources close to him have described as "improper". It is also believed the Essex MP thinks spending that amount of taxpayers' money is "not what we're about".

Home Secretary Theresa May is indicating that migrants rescued from the Mediterranean who are seeking a better life in Europe should be forcibly returned to their home countries. Writing in the Times,, external Mrs May says "we cannot do anything which encourages more people to make these perilous journeys." Her remarks come as the European Commission prepares to publish a series of proposals today to try to deal with the migration crisis.

The Commission has confirmed that the UK has the right to refuse to take part in a proposed mandatory quota system to relocate asylum seekers across the EU - and Mrs May seems determined to do just that.

David Cameron is to set out a string of new powers to tackle radicalisation, saying the UK has been a "passively tolerant society" for too long.

The PM will tell the National Security Council that a counter-extremism bill will be in the Queen's Speech on 27 May. The bill will include new immigration rules, powers to close down premises used by extremists and "extremism disruption orders".

Mr Cameron will say a "poisonous" extremist ideology must be confronted.

The proposals were first set out by Home Secretary Theresa May before the general election, but the Conservatives were unable to secure the backing of their then Liberal Democrat coalition partners for the measures.

It's on with business today, almost a week after the election. New plans to tackle extremism are top of the prime minister's agenda. We're also expecting more on the Labour and Liberal Democrat leadership contests, so stick with us - Victoria King and Aiden James - and we'll keep you informed.
