This budget was about politics, not principle.
Michael Gove
If you're watching in broadband, here's how to find your favourite parts of the latest show.

1201 We have seen the future! Yesterday's showdown between Gordon and David was just a taste of things to come. Andrew welcomes our guests: friend of the Chancellor Geoffrey Robinson and a founder member of the Cameron Camp, Tory frontbencher Michael Gove.

1204 Budgets used to be - unremarkably enough - about Tax & Spend and the economy. But not any more. Under Chancellor Gordon Brown, budget statements have become personal political statements - and political attacks on the enemy. In his 10th Budget the Chancellor continued his mission to have a plan for every nook and cranny of British life. But so did David Cameron, who he was up against at the despatch box for the first time, though hardly the last. Both realised that how they define each other is the key. And so the clash provided a fascinating insight into how British politics will unfold over the next few years. Jenny tells us more, and hears the opinions of The Sun's Associate Editor Trevor Kavanagh.

1212 Andrew, Jenny and our guests turn their attentions to Gordon's rival David Cameron.

1222 When the right to roam came into force last year, countryside campaigners across Britain celebrated by strapping on their walking boots and rambling all over the place. But not all outdoors types stay on the land: canoeists and kayakers are angry that rivers weren't included in the legislation. They claim just 1% of inland water in England and Wales can be navigated freely. We asked Daily Politics viewer and kayaker Ashley Charlwood to give us his personal view on the situation.

1227 We look at the other stories making the news here at Westminster this lunchtime in our Newsbelt.

1228 Your emails and questions for Geoffrey and Michael.
