The key players in the General Election battle are focusing on business today with David Cameron pledging to create two million new jobs over the next five years if the Conservatives win power on May 7.
The Scottish National Party's (SNP) deputy leader Stewart Hosie has said his party will work together with "allies from across the UK" such as the Greens and Plaid Cymru to end the shared "ideological commitment to austerity" of the Conservatives and Labour.
Mr Hosie said: "Westminster's obsession with austerity is holding back Scotland's economy and damaging communities across the country - pushing 100,000 more children in Scotland into poverty and seeing a 400% increase in people forced to rely on food banks. Austerity is failing on every level and people are crying out for a real alternative."
As if proving they can stand the heat, David Cameron, George Osborne and Nick Clegg all headed to the kitchen today.
