David Cameron should try to do everything now he thinks he can't achieve when he's less powerful, says the Spectator's Isabel Hardman. That's why it's "so interesting" that they've delayed human rights reform, she adds, as he could have more rebellious backbenchers and a strengthened opposition further down the line, which could make the task more difficult.

Where did it go wrong for Labour? Bob Roberts says "uncertainty and worry" over the SNP lost Labour support on the day. He rejects the idea it was anything more fundamental than that, such as the party's policies or leader. Ed Miliband had a decent campaign, he adds.
Steve Hilton thinks differently. He says it was because the government delivered on what it promised - a stronger economy. And people didn't see Ed Miliband as a credible PM, he adds.

Bob Roberts says Labour needs to "move on" from the Blair and Brown eras. He thinks all of the leadership candidates will recognise that the party needs to get "a modern majority" in the country.
What about Labour's prospects of winning in 2020? "It will be difficult but it's not impossible," he says.

Ed Miliband's former communications director, Bob Roberts, was asked whether Labour thought they'd become the largest party at the election. "Yes, we thought so," he says. He says they couldn't know for sure but they felt there was a "decent chance" of winning. And when did it dawn on them it wasn't going to happen? When the results came in for Nuneaton, he replies. "We looked at each other and said that exit poll is right."
Arriving in the Hague for talks with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, UK Prime Minister David Cameron spoke about the first of his meetings today to discuss the UK's future role in the EU.
Quote MessageWe will be talking about European reform, growth and jobs and, as you (Mark Rutte) said 'Europe when necessary and nation states whenever possible'. We will discuss my plans for European reform, before we meet for the European summit in June."

"There's a group of people, not just in politics, but across the board, who control too much of what goes on in the country," says Steve Hilton. But he's swift to point out that this isn't something that began under this government or this prime minister. "It's about the whole system", he says.

On the EU, Douglas Carswell says he's "very happy" with the expected question for the EU referendum, saying it is "fair". The MP adds that it's an "incredible opportunity" to get Britain out of the European Union.

Douglas Carswell says he thinks the protesters were "looking to legitimise violence and frustration". He says in a free society he should be able to stand at a bus stop and make his way home peacefully. Some of the protestors were shouting "racist" at him. The UKIP MP says he wonders whether:
Quote MessageMaybe one or two commentators... might want to ask themselves has stuff they've said over the past seven or eight months created the intellectual space that allows a mob to feel its justified to attack on an MPs."

Anti-austerity protests were held in central London last night. UKIP MP Douglas Carswell got caught up in a demonstration and had to be escorted away by a police van. He tells the programme it was "pretty ugly" and he was "incredibly frightened". Asked if it was an anti-UKIP protest, he said he thought not as the crowd had started chanting anti-Conservatives things before realising he was a UKIP MP.

The government is pressing ahead with plans to give English MPs an effective veto on laws that affect England only. SNP MP Pete Wishart says the problem with this comes when an English matter impacts on Scotland, citing health spending as an example.
On devolution, John Redwood suggests there will be changes to the Barnett formula to reflect that Scotland will be getting more powers over taxes. "There needs to be a new formula," he says and adds that he hopes it will give England more control over its spending.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady says that "weak" growth and "extreme cuts" are a dangerous combination for the UK economy.
Commenting on the release of the latest GDP statistics by the ONS, Ms O'Grady said "the slowest recovery in modern history is slowing down again".
Quote MessageThe government must think again because its economic plan is failing. The economy urgently needs a new plan for growth, based on the strong foundation of investment in infrastructure and good jobs with decent pay."

Steve Hilton, David Cameron's former "blue skies thinker" senior adviser, says the EU is "a classic example of big bureaucratic institutions that are driving people mad", because it makes them feel they have no control. How would he vote? He says there's "no question" there'll be change in the EU but declines to give his personal view.

Mr Hunt says he'd vote to stay in. Pressed on whether Labour would campaign to remain an EU member even if no changes to membership terms were agreed, Mr Hunt says the party thinks it's better to be in than out.

The EU referendum is under discussion over on BBC 2's Daily Politics programme. Eurosceptic Tory MP John Redwood says he's happy there'll be a vote on Britain's membership of the EU and he's not concerned about the wording of the question.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper is scathing in her critique of government plans for a British Bill of Rights. Ministers want to replace the Human Rights Act, which incorporates the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK law.
Ms Cooper says it puts Britain "to shame" and "shrinks and diminishes us".
Quote MessageWe still stand up for our human rights, for responsibility and respect for our common humanity and I hope this whole Parliament will too."

It's been a busy morning so far, largely dominated by political reaction to the Fifa arrests and events in the Commons. One other piece of news was the first revision of the latest UK economic growth figures. Although it turned out there was little in the way of revision.
The UK economy grew 0.3% in the first three months of the year, according to the Office for National Statistics. The lack of revision to the growth figure came as a surprise as most analysts had expected the ONS's initial estimate to be revised up to 0.4%.
David Cameron supports calls for Fifa president Sepp Blatter to quit, Downing Street has said. It comes after the arrest of senior Fifa officials on corruption charges. The PM is also calling for widespread reform of the world football governing body.
