Ashley Fox MEP: Meanwhile, back in Brussels, Conservative MEPs are battling for Britain
What we’ve done on an EU Public Prosecutor, immigration, Mediterranean refugees, car safety, plastic bags – and exposing Labour’s hypocrisy.
Ryan Bourne: When Clegg claimed over two in five families are vulnerable. And other thoughts on this election campaign
Plus: The OBR isn’t needed to audit manifestos. The SNP’s sleight-of-hand on austerity. A lack of debate on healthcare. And: don’t make promises you can’t keep.
Henry Hill: Welsh Labour coy on pact with Plaid
Also: Northern Irish Labour denounce bar on contesting elections; SNP suspend members who harassed Murphy; Robinson calls for pan-UK unionist fightback.
Rebecca Coulson: Two million jobs – two million real lives improving – versus the easy words of anti-austerity
The people slinging unsubstantiated words at us are the comfortably guilty, not the beneficiaries of the jobs miracle.
Lord Flight: In Scotland, the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberals should merge into a single Unionist Party
And at Westminster these parties should agree that none of them will do deals with the SNP in order to secure Commons majorities.
Iain Dale: My hunch is that the Tory message on the SNP is getting through to voters
Plus: The CCHQ charm school. Disgraceful Livingstone. Untruthful Clegg. Nasty Russell Brand. Where I’ll be on election night. And: Advice to candidates for the count.
Graeme Archer: Miliband’s irrational fear of cats
In which I consider making ailurophobia an aggravated criminal offence. Penalty: stoning to death.
Daniel Hannan MEP: Why proportional representation is now right for the Commons
A Royal Commission should put the options before Parliament in time for a referendum in, say, 2018.
Henry Hill: Tories rule out pact with Nationalists in Holyrood
Also: Calls for referendum as NI Assembly votes down gay marriage by two votes; and Jones and Davidson join the debate on EVEL.
Garvan Walshe: The election may be depressing, but Prime Minister Miliband would be much worse
Even if Cameron has given a little glimpse of his inner Netanyahu, Miliband displays all the pragmatism of Salvador Allende.
Iain Dale: “The policy on gay marriage has driven away our most useful bigots”
The Tories are losing this campaign. Sir Anthony Garner’s memorial service. Mrs Keith Simpson trashes my property rights. And: Boris is on all fours with Theresa May
A Candidate’s Diary: We are campaigning hard on a strong record. So why aren’t we pulling away?
This week I took part in a hustings. Does anyone, except my online stalkers, enjoy them?
Graeme Archer: Ship of fools
I have a recurring nightmare, which I now find has made its way into the real world – the Mediterranean, to be precise.
Henry Hill: Davidson backs Forsyth’s warning over Tory response to SNP
Also: Welsh Conservative leader disowns the national manifesto; and Villiers defends the party’s choice of candidates in Northern Ireland.
Ryan Bourne: Price controls cause shortages, queues, overcrowding, underinvestment and unemployment. And they’re back.
They seem to be more back in vogue with all political parties than at any time since the 1970s.
