Golden hellos
After three weeks off, MPs return to Westminster today for what promises to be a rollercoaster political year. 
Gordon Brown is setting the pace this morning with a much-trailed 'jobs summit' where he and a handful of Government ministers will unveil a package of measures to help people who lose their jobs get back into work.
The headline-grabbing idea is a £2,500 'golden hello' paid to any company taking on someone who's been out of work for more than six months. The Tories say the summit is more spin than substance and won't make much of a difference in the gloomy months ahead.
We'll be analysing the proposals. Also on the show today - as the conflict in Gaza continues, we hear from the Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague.
And we look at what's in store in the political year ahead with Kevin Maguire of the Mirror, and Matthew D'Ancona of the Spectator.
All that on 91Èȱ¬2 from Noon today - or catch us later on the 91Èȱ¬ iplayer.
