| MONDAY 1 JUNE - 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO PRESENTER: JEREMY PAXMAN From the web team: Prime Minister Gordon Brown has made it plain that he will defy any attempts to drive him from No 10 after Thursday's European and local elections, saying that the public expect him to clean up politics and end the recession before leaving office. "I think the cleaning up of the political system is best done by someone who has got a clear idea of what needs to be done - and I have," he said this morning. But of course, his fellow MPs may have other ideas if, as Alan Johnson, the man widely tipped as Mr Brown's likely successor, predicts Labour does indeed suffer the worst local and European election results in its history. SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS FOR HARRIET HARMAN Tonight we will be speaking to deputy Labour leader and leader of the Commons Harriet Harman live on the programme. We will be asking where she stands on calls for Mr Brown to step aside for the good of the party and about the latest expenses revelations, which have seen Chancellor Alistair Darling repaying about £700 of expenses following fresh allegations about his allowances. But we also want to know what questions you think Mrs Harman should answer. Send us your suggestions via our web team blog. Plus, we have been to the marginal seat of Watford to look back across the three weeks of MPs' expenses revelations with a group of ordinary voters. They are disappointed, angry, and unless your name is Vince Cable, not at all impressed. And we will also have the latest on the disappearance of an Air France plane carrying 228 people, which has vanished over the Atlantic, and on car giant General Motors filing for bankruptcy protection, in what is the biggest industrial failure in US corporate history. Do join Jeremy for all that and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two. Missed Newsnight? Click here to watch online Newsnight Blogs Join the debate |
