Anita Anand and Giles Dilnot look at how a more business-like coalition relationship will work, sentencing policy and elected police commissioners. They are joined by Lord Adonis.

Anita Anand and Giles Dilnot are here with the top political stories of the day.

A Liberal Democrat rebellion in the Lords defeats plans for elected police commissioners. They have the latest on that one.

And one year on from the love-in in the Downing Street garden, Anita and Giles look at how the more business-like coalition relationship we were promised will work.

Too soft says the Tory right - and too hard say some Lib Dems; can Ken Clarke get sentencing policy just right as Anita and Giles talk to Conservative backbencher Philip Davies and Tom Brake, co-chair of the Liberal Democrats backbench Committee on Justice and Home Affairs. They are also joined by Lord Adonis, a Labour peer and director of the Institute for Government.
