Two things sadden me about all this.

One is that the public will think it confirms that all politicians are crooks - which is a pity, because they're not.

And another is that there are honest rich men who give money to parties because they believe in them and they actually want to see them win - but now they'll think they're going to be denounced in the papers as a crook.

Ken Clarke
If you're watching in broadband, here's how to find your favourite parts of the latest show.

1201 Andrew welcomes our guest, the former Conservative Chancellor Ken Clarke who's now heading up David Cameron's Democracy Task Force.

1204 Once upon a time, meetings of Labour's National Executive Committee were stormy affairs. The Blair takeover put paid to all that - for a time. One or two fireworks are expected when the party's Treasurer Jack Dromey reports back on exactly how Downing Street concocted a plan to ask businessmen for loans rather than donations. Jenny asks whether the PM be in even more trouble, joined by Harret Yeo of the Labour NEC and political correspondent Sean Curran.

1208 Home Office Minister Tony McNulty joins Andrew and Ken Clarke to talk about party funding.

1215 What would make you feel safer on the streets at night? "More police" might be the obvious answer. But how about a group of Christians? Well, that's exactly what's happening in tough parts of several British cities where "street pastors" have been walking the beat several nights a week. Laura's been to meet the preachers on patrol.

1219 If you thought vouchers for asylum seekers were a thing of the past, think again. They're in place today for failed asylum seekers who can't return to countries like Zimbabwe, Somalia and Iraq for safety reasons. The Immigration Bill returns to the Commons today; we discuss it with Tony McNulty and Nancy Kelley from the Refugee Council.

1224 Your questions and emails for Ken Clarke. No Daily Politics tomorrow - but Jenny is going to be bringing you the best analysis of the Budget.
