BBC Two - Daily Politics, 11/03/2010

Andrew Neil and Shelagh Fogarty are Liam Byrne and Mumsnet's Justine Roberts.

Andrew Neil and Shelagh Fogarty discuss the top political stories of the day with Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liam Byrne and Mumsnet co-founder Justine Roberts.

Imagine this - we wake up the day after the general election to find that Labour have scraped home. Gordon Brown is Prime Minister. What would life be like under a fourth-term Labour government? In the last of our current series of interviews with the three main parties, Andrew talks to Treasury minister Liam Byrne about Labour's plans for another term in office. 

Also on the show today, are the Transport Secretary's plans for a multi-billion pound high speed rail link from London to Birmingham a fantastic leap forward, or a complete waste of precious public cash? 

And could viral videos and backroom blogging have a serious influence on the election campaign? We'll hear from two digital dynamos - Left Foot Forward's Will Straw and Paul Staines of Guido Fawkes.

We will be recording the video newsletter around 1100 with an update on any items for today's show which starts at 1200 on BBC2, and repeated at midnight on BBC iPlayer.

Send us your emails on the show: we use some comments on air, and many more on our page of viewers' comments.
