1405: It's time for Tiewatch, BBC fashion insider Claire Williams' daily musing on the sartorial choices of the main party leaders. Sporting a grey cardigan, echoing the uncertain skies above Westminster, she declares: "Mr Cameron has been sticking to his party colours by wearing a soft sky-blue neck-piece when touring Southampton University. Mr Brown is also on the south coast - he's been meeting nurses in Bournemouth in a classic royal purple tie with a white chequered motif. Mr Clegg is out and about in a fashion-forward bright magenta tie today, but he fell at the final fashion hurdle by clashing horribly with the produce during a visit to a poppy factory in Edinburgh."
1417: David Cameron, on the trail in Southampton, goes into a toyshop and buys a plastic knight worth £2.99 for his son. He then pops in to a card shop, joking that he and his fellow campaigners have "probably frightened everyone off". As he leaves, a woman wearing sunglasses urges him to give "some detail" of his party's policy. Asked about the Lib Dems' manifesto, he jokes: "There are a lot of numbers in it, but there are a lot of numbers in Sudoko." About 81, we think????
