Does seem that campaigning officially resumes tomorrow, which isn't too surprising considering Cameron's date with the BBC. The Referendum broadcasts dropped on Friday were already announced to be airing on Sunday.

I thought campaigning was on hold until after the Commons debate on Monday? The Commons has been recalled to have an opportunity to formally pay tribute to Jo Cox.

Low key campaigning has continued throughout, such as leafleting door to door by both sides.

Yes, would have thought that might have been a priority for them, especially with the issues around impartiality.

Checking two regions, the London and North West versions of Sunday Politics are live with Referendum specials.

The rules are that you have to give an equal opportunity to all sides, so if IDS pulled out because campaigning was suspended the broadcaster is technically in the clear.

But in the circumstances I'm sure they will want to be seen to comply with the spirit of the rules and schedule something with IDS or another campaigner if his schedule doesn't permit it.

I would have thought the IDS interview has already been recorded. Hopefully the BBC burn it off against the football tomorrow.

I thought the Andrew Neil interviews were live?

If it was already recorded I would have expected it to go out on BBC Parliament yesterday with the two other ones that did, but instead they dropped one of the other ones.

More likely it was due to be recorded Thursday or Friday, and didn't get done. You don't record these things too far in advance because you might want reaction to recent campaigning.

I wonder if the cancelled BBC Wales debate is being re-arranged.

I assumed it was live, there aren't too many opportunities to record in Studio B, with Victoria Derbyshire in there in the morning, World News in all afternoon and Newsnight in the evening.
