Steve Richards of The Independent looks behind the scenes at Westminster. Budgets create a great flurry of expectation around them, but more often than not it's the politics rather than the sums that matter. That at least is former chancellor Lord Lawson's view, which he takes up with financial journalist Bill Keegan. Ed Miliband announced a new policy of creating regional banks this week, so is he now moving forward on fleshing out Labour policy for the next election? Labour MP Tristram Hunt and Demos chief David Goodhart with their views. And speaking of election campaigns how will the campaign for and against Independence for Scotland manage to keep going until the autumn of 2014? MP and deputy leader of the Scottish Labour party Anas Sarwar, and Yes Scotland Chief Executive Blair Jenkins, on how they'll do it. Plus loyalty and friendship amongst MPs: two Liberal Democrats, MP Annette Brooke and former MP Evan Harris, reflect on the Chris Huhne case. The editor is Marie Jessel.
