The European Commission is to appoint a team of scientists to advise it, departing from the previous system of having a single chief scientific adviser which had been held by the Scottish biologist Anne Glover up until November 2014. It also plans a "structured relationship" with national scientific advisory bodies in order to draw on a "wealth of knowledge and expertise". Glover's departure was seen as controversial, and it had been suggested that Mr Juncker's decision to scrap the role was linked to Professor Glover's support for the technology behind GM food. A commission paper noted there is 鈥渘o single model or best practice鈥� for providing such scientific advice to politicians. Tracey Brown is the Director of Sense About Science, a charity which promotes public discussion of science.

Of all the different measures we use to assess the health of the economy, could productivity be the one we should be paying most attention to? It might be if you go by the Bank of England鈥檚 quarterly inflation report which it published yesterday: productivity came up 84 times. Productivity is output created per hour worked by the average worker in the UK economy and according to the Office for National Statistics 鈥渢he main determinant of national living standards.鈥� It鈥檚 what drives economic growth and allows us to provide more stuff for us to consume with the same resources.

UKIP鈥檚 leader Nigel Farage has become a 鈥榮narling, thin-skilled, aggressive鈥� man, turning the party into a 鈥榩ersonality cult鈥�. That鈥檚 the verdict of the party鈥檚 campaign chief who has launched an attack on his leader in an interview with the Times. The comments come just days after Mr Farage鈥檚 resignation as leader was rejected by the party鈥檚 National Executive Committee and after a public disagreement between Mr Farage and the party鈥檚 only MP, Douglas Carswell, over whether to accept 拢650,000 in taxpayers鈥� money to fund an additional 15 members of staff.

We heard from the 麻豆约拍 Secretary on the programme yesterday about the principles behind the new anti-extremist legislation the government wants to introduce. Some fear that it was all too woolly and unfocused and actually illiberal - an attack on free speech. So who is it aimed at? What kind of things would it seek to combat? Our security correspondent Gordon Correra reports.

35 years after the original film, a new Mad Max movie comes out this week. Once again it portrays a world where structures have collapsed, resources such as petrol and water are scarce and the law is defended by those who believe in good. It鈥檚 a grim, lawless vision of the world common to the dystopian genre of books and films, but why do we never reach the future these fictions portray?

George Osborne's first speech to the new parliament will say that the forthcoming Queen's Speech will include a Cities Devolution Bill. This bill will deliver 'devo Manc' for Greater Manchester, enabling it to directly elect its Mayor in 2017, with powers over transport, housing, planning and policing. The city voted against a directly elected Mayor in 2012, and Manchester's success has been attributed to the continuity of local government - Sir Richard Leese has been leader of Manchester City Council since 1996. The decision to agree to a directly elected mayor was made last November, in return for sweeping devolution.

Many people already use gadgets like smartwatches and wristbands to log how much exercise or sleep they get. Now companies are eyeing up the chance to use such "wearable devices" to sell us things. Big brands are working with academics at Goldsmiths, University of London, to identify the best ways to do this. Their latest report out today says that sending advertising messages to people's gadgets, and offering services in return for information collected from these devices, will be key opportunities for business. But do we buy into this vision of the future? Rory Cellan-Jones reports.

A batch of confidential letters sent by Prince Charles to senior UK ministers has been published, following a 10-year freedom of information battle between the Guardian newspaper and the government. The letters reveal that Charles lobbied ministers on a range of issues, including agriculture, the armed forces, architecture and homeopathy, giving us an insight into the concerns of our future King. But critics argue the monarchy should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act and that these letters should not have been made public. Jack Straw is a former Labour cabinet minister and as home secretary was one of the architects of the Freedom of Information Act.

Did the 'echo chamber' effect of social media lure the Labour party hierarchy into a false sense of how they were doing in the country? Did twitter hashtags such as #milifandom (started by a 17 year old Labour party supporter) #milibrand (following Ed鈥檚 interview with Russell Brand) and #jesuised (when supporters tweeted photographs of themselves eating food awkwardly) create a lot of noise amongst the left wing commentariat 鈥� hiding the fact that activists were really just tweeting and retweeting to each other?
