In a bakery in East Renfrewshire - the constituency being defended by Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy - George Osborne argues that the planned National Insurance increase would be " a damaging tax rise for the Scottish economy". The Shadow Chancellor adds that 100 Scots businesses have backed the Conservatives' opposition to the move. Around him, workers prepare X Factor shortbread which will be handed out to would-be stars at auditions for the talent show tomorrow. Carole Cochrane, chief executive at The Princess Royal Trust for Carers, is pleased that all three of the main party leaders paid tribute to the "unsung heroes" who provide unpaid care during last night's debate. But she adds: "Let us not kid ourselves that by singing their praises we will solve the problems they face, such as poverty, ill-health and isolation".
