BBC political correspondent Mike Sergeant says the Lib Dems have told him that online donations by individuals have shot up since the debate and visits to the party website are eight times higher. The party also says it has attracted 1,600 new members but party strategists are keen to keep their "feet on the ground" and know that opinion is highly volatile. Comparisons between Nick Clegg and Winston Churchill are dismissed as "absurd", but officials can't quite conceal their glee at the headlines in the Sunday papers. Tory chairman Eric Pickles plays down the idea that the Tories will be turning their guns on the Lib Dems after Nick Clegg's well-received performance in the TV debate. Mr Pickles told the BBC: "It's a long way between now and the election and the last thing I think the public needs is for a bunch of politicians to start taking lumps out of another. This country needs change. I would be urging all Conservatives to get on the doorstep and to talk about the change we want to bring to this country."
