Today's prime minister's questions will be the last until at least 19 May, as the new Parliament will not start until Tuesday 18 May. Now, Tiewatch: The BBC's Claire Williams says Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg's red number, covered in what looked like small yellow spots, was an "interesting" choice. "It combined Labour's colour with a bit of Lib Dem yellow and, overall, had a rather conservative pattern," she adds. "Could it be a hung Parliament tie?" On Mr Cameron's light-blue offering, Ms Williams says: "It was understated. Conservative with a small 'c'. I can find no more words to add on the subject and nor shall I endeavour to do so." More on political reform on BBC Radio 4's World at One. Foreign Secretary David Miliband says everyone standing at this election must understand the sheer "disdain and cynicism" people feel because of the "poisonous activities" of a few politicians. His opposite number William Hague says there's a desire from the public to see standards rise and costs fall in the system. He also says there could be "common political cause" between the Tories and the Lib Dems on this matter. For the Lib Dems, Vince Cable says the government has been "unwilling" to accept a cap on political donations because of Labour's links with the unions.
