Prime ministerial TV debate
Gordon Brown pitted his experience as the man equipped to save the country from the risk of a double-dip recession, against David Cameron’s call to lead the country towards change, in the opening exchanges of the first televised leaders’ debate in British electoral history tonight.
But Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, appeared to win most public support as he made a powerful pitch that he represented change from the two old parties. In a confident performance, he told the audience in Manchester: “Do not let anyone tell you that the only choice is the old politics. We can do something new, something different this time.”

Gordon Brown and David Cameron have clashed over spending cuts, tax and political reform in the UK’s first prime ministerial TV debate.
The Labour leader went on the attack against Mr Cameron during the historic 90 minute encounter accusing him of “airbrushing” planned spending cuts.
The Tory leader accused Mr Brown of trying to “frighten” voters.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said neither of them were being “straight” about the scale of cuts needed.
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said the biggest impact of the contest will be the insertion of Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats into the nation’s consciousness but nothing the other leaders said had fundamentally altered the general election debate.
The abiding memory of the contest could be “the other leaders saying ‘I agree with Nick,” he added.
