2207, PH: Well, we’ve just been through all that – and guess what’s leading the News at Ten. Yep, the ash cloud…
2205, PH: And that’s it. I’ll be writing a verdict post shortly.
2203, PH: And Cameron has pre-empted Brown’s statement well. He says that the other two have tried to frighten the audience about the Tories
– but “put hope before fear”. His key message after that is about national insurance. A solid closer from the Tory leader.
2201, PH: Classic Brown. He points the finger at the Tories, saying that they can’t match Labour’s guarantees and that they’d risk the recovery. I’m not
sure this negative approach will come across so well.
2200, PH: Here we go: the closing statements. Clegg starts by saying that he hopes he’s shown that there is “an alternative to the two old
parties”, and follows up by referring to the questioners by name.
