With Andrew Neil and Jo Coburn. Almost half of Conservative backbenchers defy Cameron and vote against the government to call for a referendum on our relationship with Europe. We assess the fallout from this rebellion with the Leader of the House of Commons George Young, and Tim Montgomerie, editor of the Conservative ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ website.
What's going on in Europe? Sarkozy says he's sick of being criticised by Cameron and Berlusconi says he wants no "lessons" from Merkel and Sarkozy. But when the fits are over who will wield power in Europe? We speak to Conservative MP George Eustice.
And it costs the country £4.2bn a year - but are we doing the right things to tackle the obesity epidemic? We talk about that with shadow public health minister Diane Abbott and our guest of the day Derek Hatton, the former deputy leader of Liverpool Council and former supporter of the Militant tendency.
