THE DAILY POLITICS
Michael Howard

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

1130 Andrew welcomes our guests for the programme: Cameron Of The Artic's bag-carrier, Conservative MP, Ed Vaizey. And his opponent, who braves all weathers, the Labour MP Meg Hillier.

1136 Giles is in Little Chalfont asking what's happening to our libraries.

1139 Home Secretary Charles Clarke has offered to quit, after it was revealed that the Home Office had failed to deport hundreds of foreign criminals, many of them dangerous. But the Prime Minister told Mr Clarke to stay and sort out the mess. Then we learned this morning, too late for the newspapers, that almost 300 foreign criminals were released even after the Home Office had been warned of the danger. Jenny asks whether the Home secretary is part of the problem or part of the solution.

1141 Jenny asks MPs Nick Clegg, Sadiq Khan and Edward Garnier about the trouble in the Home Office.

1143 Jenny is joined by criminologist Roger Graef to ask how this could have happened.

1145 Former Home Secretary Michael Howard calls at our studio.

1152 Andrew braces himself to travel through time and relative dimensions of space: it's time to win a mug in our Guess The Year quiz.

1153 With Prime Minister's Questions almost upon us, we're joined by the BBC's Political Editor Nick Robinson.

1200 We cross the road to the Commons and hand over to our commentator, Rachel Hooper.

1224 Andrew and Jenny discuss PMQs with Nick Robinson and our guests, and look at your email reactions to the Commons debate.

1233 We listen to and discuss Charles Clarke's statement to the Commons.

1249 We return to Giles in Little Chalfont to hear whether voters there think that Charles Clarke has run out of steam.

1250 At some point in our lives, one in four of us will experience mental health problems. But is the government doing enough to help sufferers? Melvyn Bragg, who has suffered from bouts of depression himself, doesn't think so.

1257 We put you out of your misery and give you the answer to Guess The Year.

1258 We look at your emails and questions for Ed and Meg.
