By this time next week, the election will all be over and it will be a question of seats, leaderships and coalitions. With six days of campaigning left, today will be dominated by the fallout from last night’s Question Time special. David Cameron put in a good turn, Ed Miliband did not and Nick Clegg appeared to sail on through without much impact. To help guide you through the melée of stories and spin, here is a summary of today’s main election stories.
1. Miliband’s not sorry
The special edition of Question Time last night with the three main party leaders was the best television of the campaign. Cameron, Miliband and Clegg were hauled over the coals by an excellent audience in Leeds, who were impressively well informed and took no prisoners. A snap poll conducted by The Guardian/ICM suggests the Prime Minister won by six points: 44 per cent thought Cameron put in the best performance, compared to 38 per cent for Ed Miliband and 19 per cent for Nick Clegg.
