What did the Lib Dems know about Cyril Smith, says MP Simon Danczuk.

Nigel Farage and EU expense claims, plus should the Lib Dems be doing more to find out who knew what about Cyril Smith?

As UKIP's leader Nigel Farage accuses The Times of wilfully misleading people over how he spent allowances given to him by the European Union, we ask an EU spokeswoman to explain all the rules. Also today, should the Lib Dems be doing more to find out who knew what when about  Cyril Smith? Nick Clegg says he would support stripping the late Liberal politician Cyril Smith of his knighthood, following accusations the former Rochdale MP sexually abused children over decades. Now a Labour MP has written a book compiling the allegations against Cyril Smith - and calling for a full inquiry into what happened.  We speak to him, and to a former Lancashire detective who investigated the allegations.
