He's pleased with the word from Tory sources that Mr Cameron would form a minority government rather than seek a pact with Nick Clegg in the event of hung Parliament. It's the "more dangerous" option but "the surest route to long-term political success", he adds.
1756: There's been a battle of the party videos today. Labour have gone for humour, with a witty attack on the Big Society. It shows a harassed mother dressed as a lollipop lady and answering the phone as the police and the parole board. She asks the viewer to buy a raffle ticket to pay "for the GPs' wages". The Tories, meanwhile, have opted for drama. Their video shows Gordon Brown "on trial" for wrecking the economy. His plea? "I plead for the British people to vote for me and let me do it again."
