    The Prime Minister is in Loughborough where he has confirmed that he stands by his defence secretary’s attack on the Labour leader.

    He says he backs Mr Fallon’s comments about Mr Miliband and that the defence secretary is making an “important point” on Trident.

    He said: “Only the Conservatives are absolutely guaranteeing a full replacement for Trident. Labour are in confusion about what they would do with their deterrent.”

    “Ed Miliband can only get to Downing Street on the back of Nicola Sturgeon. The SNP are saying not replacing Trident is a red line for them.”

    “What price would Labour pay to get into office?”

    Cameron asked if he stands by Fallon's rather personal attack on Ed Miliband over Trident. "Of course". #GE2015
