Gordon Brown shakes hands with the audience but withdraws the mitt when he sees ITN correspondent Lucy Manning, saying, "she is someone who is following me around," the BBC's Iain Watson says. This from BBC South political editor Peter Henley: The Liberal Democrat candidate in Dorset South has attacked the privileged background of her Conservative rival. Harrow-educated local landowner Richard Drax was ridiculed for his quadruple-barrelled name (Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax). Today, Lib Dem Roz Kayes claimed he was too posh to be an MP, saying, "He probably has difficulty understanding the lives of people on a low income. I think that is a serious handicap. I wouldn't want to be in that position". Mr Drax replied: "I don't think it's where you come from that counts, it's where you're going. I will work my socks off for this seat." Labour cabinet minister Jim Knight is defending a majority of 1,812. He said: "I'm standing for the working people of this constituency. That's what I worry about, not his long name or his long wall."
