Conservative leader David Cameron is on his feet for his speech reaching out to older voters. The sun's out in Swindon and his shirt sleeves are rolled up. He starts off by thanking his own parents for showing him how a "big society" could work - the "big society" being the theme of the Tories' manifesto. He says his dad used to work really hard - and his mother, a magistrate, would tell them all about "Swampy up his tree" - presumably she was dealing with Newbury bypass protest cases. Mr Cameron says pensioners "will get more money to live on" if the Conservatives win - by linking state pensions to earnings. He also defends his pledge to raise the threshold for inheritance tax - Labour like to target this Tory policy as a tax break for "millionaires". But Mr Cameron says he is standing up for people who work hard and want to leave their homes to their children - the tax should only be paid by the rich, he says.
