First off, we focused on the story about one-in-three MPs changing status of their main home to cash in on expenses. Is it time to move on now or do we need to still keep an eye on them? We asked Political Correspondent for the Press Association, George Jones, for his analysis.

A grandmother died because of appalling blunders by a German surgeon flown in by the NHS. Should there be tighter checks on foreign doctors?

When a benefits claimant was asked to put down his hood in a Jobcentre in Southend, he said he was entitled to wear it because of his Jedi "faith". Was the Job Centre right to ask him to remove his hood? Was this just simply a case of 'political correctness gone mad?'

David's back tomorrow on LBC 97.3 Drive - join him from 4pm.
