Tune in at 7pm

On tonight’s Channel 4 News – David Cameron hails a “jobs miracle” … more people in work than ever – and unemployment falling again. But just how many of these new jobs are low paid, part time, zero hours? The Tories say it’s great for people seeking a work life balance. Exploitation, say Labour – plain and simple: and dressing up insecurity as flexibility. We’re on the case.

Plus from Scotland – Labour insist they won’t be making any “shoddy back room deals” with the SNP – but if it’s a question of keeping the Conservatives out of power – what would they really be prepared to do? The post-election landscape is still anyone’s guess.

Abroad – some serious violence in South Africa where protests against immigration have degenerated into more clashes, with police firing rubber bullets – and footage showing what appears to be a chlorine attack by Syrian forces in Idlib: footage which leaves many experienced UN diplomats reduced to tears.

But there’s still time for more election politics: and a constituency that shows quite how tight a race this is. Finchley – Mrs Thatcher’s old seat, now a Lab/Con marginal. Michael Crick has been gathering the broadest possible range of views. He’s even canvassed a couple of alpacas, or possibly llamas. If that’s not dedication, we don’t know what is. Join us at seven, on four.
