The Lib Dems have used a deck of playing cards to issue a fresh warning over a possible "right-wing alliance" after the election.

Dubbing an alliance of the Tories, Ukip and the DUP "BluKip", the Lib Dems suggest those three parties have "a huge amount of common ground".

The "Beware BluKip" playing cards each have a quote from one party member, which the Lib Dems say demonstrate the "dangers" of a swing to the right.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage takes pride of place - as the joker of the pack.

But it's not just cards the Liberal Democrats have released - they have also created a spoof "BluKip" website.

The spoof site features a news page - with some updates "posted by Andy Coulson" - including the headlines, "Sick people make for healthy profits", "Make the young value hard work", and "Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve".
