Brown sounding like manager of Murmansk tractor factory giving production statistics c. 1965
Debate chat #7
Brown simplistic but much better than Cameron
Debate chat #6
Clegg much better than Cameron
Debate chat #3
Cameron superbland – nothing anyone could disagree with, even me.
Debate chat #2
Switched over to HD. Improbably plucked eyebrows in the audience.

Over on BBC now for the debate proper
The real bigots are the 51 “entrepreneurs” who wrote to the Times
this morning arguing anything but a Tory government would be a disaster. They argue that only massive tax cuts for themselves will save the economy, by “trickledown”. Not one of them opposed the banking deregulation that actually was an economic disaster.

Sun_Election Tonight’s Sun/YouGov poll reveals that Nick Clegg has failed to repeat his poll surge after the second leaders debate…
The anti-Lib Dem campaigning by Murdoch is so blatant it is really not funny. Now when they release the figures for their daily poll, the LibDems are the only party who have increased their vote share on the day before.
Tory 34, LD 29 (up 1), New Labour 29
This was the first opinion poll taken after the hounds of hell of the entire Tory media were released on Nick Clegg yesterday. How Murdoch must be frustrated at the loss of his iron grip on British public opinion. Expect new heights of hysterical Tory attack in the week ahead.
I now have a source within YouGove who tells me that in fact the poll showed the LibDems in the lead and Con on 30, but that was before “adjustment”.
YouGove, you have some disgruntled employees. Again if you want to deny this, I will publish your denial. There have been visits to this site from the YouGove server all day.
A roundup of some brilliant dissections of media bias here.

I didn’t realise it was the great Justin who invented #nickcleggsfault.

Thank God that’s over – now for the spinning twerps.

Clegg is the best at set piece narration.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #53
Cameron wants a cap system on immigration. Can we have a cap on people from Holland? (geddit?)
Foreign Policy Debate chat #52
Nick Clegg did well on immigration. I was yelling out for him to say there are a million illegal immigrants and you can’t deport them. Finally he did.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #51
Cameron’s conflation of asylum and an immigration amnesty is a disgusting bit of populism.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #50
Precisely the same immigration discussion we had last week.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #49
That time the director knew the Cameron”Joke” was coming and cut away to the planted audience members with split second timing.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #48
Brown seems not to have been around when the economics collaps happened. A big boy did it and ran away.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #47
Brown keeps doing a hokey cokey thing with his hands now. Discussion got really dull.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #46
Gordon outlining how committees of those who bankrupted the economy are the answer.
Foreign Policy Debate chat #44
Clegg speaking well on elderly care so Boulton tries to stop him on spurious grounds of irrelevancy. Clegg is more relevant than most of them have been most of the time.
