2057, PH: We’ll sign off for now. I’ll be back with a summary post shortly.
2057, JF: Osborne gets his closing statement just right, sounding humble and emphasising this is the voter’s choice. I expect Osborne will be very satsified with his night’s work.
2055, PH: And Osborne has the closing word. He’s not quite as direct as Cable – saying that the Lib Dems won’t be in government, and that the Tories have “shown, under the leadership of David Cameron” that they’ve got what it takes – but its a neat enough closer.
2054. PH: Punchy stuff from Cable, who says that you can’t trust Labour because they got us into this mess – and that you can’t trust the Tories because they presided over recessions in the past. It’s slightly worrying for the Tories that he gets a round of applause for saying the Tories want to look out for their rich friends.
