1359: Mr Brown says the Conservatives' plans to "take £6bn out of the economy" risk sending the UK into a double-dip recession. The Tories' plans to lift the threshold of inheritance tax speaks much about their "values", he argues. The PM, getting louder, promises Labour will fight for the type of government "this country needs". To applause, he shakes more hands, commenting on the lovely sea view. Jackie Wilson's Higher and Higher pipes up on the PA system then stops again.
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."
