The Daily Politics - 12/03/2010

Jo Coburn has the top political stories of the day and is joined by Simon Hoggart from The Guardian and Anne McElvoy from The London Evening Standard This weekend, a number of writers and comedians will be gathering to hold a benefit gig in support of changing our libel laws.

The Respect Party already has one MP in the form of George Galloway, but there is a chance it may have another one in Birmingham after the next election.

We'll be asking how much help their other halves can provide.
