Phone-in reaction to the Tory manifesto's promise of "People power and not state power". Plus reaction to Whitney Houston's performance in Birmingham.

David Cameron says his parties' manifesto was "the biggest call to arms this country has seen in a generation". Tony Livesey takes caller reaction. Is people power the answer? Are the public interested? And do the public really know best?

An army corporal who was disciplined after not appearing on parade because she had to look after her daughter has won her case against the Ministry of Defence. But do working parents expect too much from their employers?

And Whitney Houston's back on tour and she's been performing in Birmingham. It hasn't exactly been a success elsewhere ... what's your reaction?
