The Lib Dems respond to Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth's claim that their policy on the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent system is "ridiculous". The party's defence spokesman, Nick Harvey, says: "This is pretty desperate stuff from Labour. Key figures in the military and defence establishment have called for a rethink on Trident. The Labour and Conservative policy of like-for-like replacement of Trident is absurd." Some cutting words from shadow chancellor George Osborne about the immediate aftermath of the first TV debate. He says: "The 'spin room' after the debate told you everything you need to know about Labour's negative campaign of fear. Realising that their candidate had lost, a trio of Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell and Unite Union fixer Charlie Whelan fanned out across the room like an ageing rock group getting together for an ill-advised come back tour. Not so much Spinal Tap as Spin on Tap. It wasn't pretty."
