1240: And Brown rounds proceedings off by saying “future” a few times. Did you manage to stay awake? Never mind – I did, so that you wouldn’t have to. My immediate thoughts below, of course. But I’ve given the actual manifesto a quick read-through as I’ve been typing – and will report back shortly. That’s it for this live blog. Thanks for tuning in, and all that.
1237: Brown says that “we are the party of everyone on middle or modest incomes in this country”. Hm – try telling that to everyone who lost out from the 10p tax debacle.
1235: This is dragging on. The Tories should be taking lessons from this event – things need to be clearer and more direct. Doubt many people watching this could actually name many Labour policies at the end.
1231: The Sun’s Graeme Wilson asks whether Brown will apologise for Labour’s infamous cancer leaflets.
