Ok Gordon Brown - you first.
Cleggs looking good again!
Im struggling to listen when the presenter looks like a star wars character - who's he?
Clegg is definitely rattling camerons cage!! Dave's worried!!
Apart from the "bathtime squabble" quip, I reckon Gordo is doing pretty well so far. Cameron is looking rather scared.
More 'I went running with this bloke just back from afghanistan' from Dave
Gordon didnt quite manage to say improvised - imp impr imp.....explosive device - other than that he's doing ok tonight
cameron went for a run with someone yesterday, who said something
clegg comes over much better than the others, broon looks old and out of touch, cameron uber-slime
Clegg still good, Brown a bit better. Cameron still floundering.
The 'ref' is very weak!
Not as bad as Stewart last week, he was truly shite.
Not sure how clegg did on the trident one just then, although Brown came across as properly stroppy
Is it me, or are they all trying to be a bit more in touch e.g. "I went running"..."my kids at bathtime" "I've got solar panels" Slightly cringeworthy IMHO.
which tv channel? I can't find it!
Online, sky or BBC news IIRC
Politics - its theatre but its better than a dictatorship or communism 😉
Bloody disgrace that SKY are so overtly sponsoring it. It's not the 'SKY debate', it's part of a democratic process. Agree that the ref is better than last week, but surely it should be a more neutral broadcaster.
It's politics, not a giant TV ad Murdoch!
FWIW, Brown is doing better this week.
I think Dave just followed through.
Brown is stronger this week ............
......... Dave is looking lost
The bbc link above is much better than the guardian stream btw
cripes, dave just shat himself again re expenses
surely it should be a more neutral broadcaster
Such as....? Erm.
Quite a good point by David about young families saving. Then Gordo dropped a bomb on him...
Anybody who doesn't call it the bbc/sky/itv/ etc etc debate!
Last week's debate wasn't called the ITV Debate, so why should this one be called the Sky Debate?
I think Gordy is winning at the moment, clegg second, and dave a long way back
Brown has done well. It's clearly Brown, followed by Clegg, followed by Cameron.
Any way you look at it, Cameron has come in last place in all of the debates so far. Didn't see that one coming. He was meant to be the most modern, TV friendly of any of them.
solarider - its the exposure on his policies and on his smarmyness.
CFH - like the BBC?
I thought the bbc weren't going to stream this debate as due to impartiality they would have to include ukip/bnp + the other cranks. (greens excepted).
Cameron is getting a right kicking now, walked right into the bit about why isn't something in the manifesto. Doh
am i watching the same debate as the rest of you?
Clegg looks and sounds like a double glazing salesman whoes just knocked on your door.
Brown looks like hes struggling to contain his frustration

Tandem. Think you got the comments the wrong way round there.
My point doesn't relate to the independence of the broadcaster, but that such a key part of the democratic process should not be sponsored.
I think Cameron looks very weak, and not to mention hypocritical, every time he tries to attach the others on the ground of trying to spread fear in the electorate.
Didn't Brown just say six thousand million? How much?
PSML where Brown was "talking with some young people the other day".
Anyone agreeing with Nick yet?
I was answering you on
Any way you look at it, Cameron has come in last place in all of the debates so far. Didn't see that one coming. He was meant to be the most modern, TV friendly of any of them.
- its because he is being exposed on the lack of cohesion of the tory policies and because he looks and sounds smarmy and insincere.
Didn't Brown just say six thousand million? How much?
Yep, that's what 6 billion is.
Has Gordon talked about his poor, unwell aunt yet? Alkie Ada.
ex-chancellor in not knowing how to count zeroes shocker.
Agreed Tandem. After years of just complaining about everything that the Government have done, it finally emerges that Cameron wouldn't know what to do if he actually got the top job on May 6th.
I dearly want change. I thought that the Conservatives offered a real alternative. After these debates, I am absolutely sure that they don't. The Lib Dems are too untested. Labour have done nothing. Oh bugger! Now I don't know what to do.
Also, why does Clegg keep calling the others by their full first and last names? David Cameron, instead of David. Gordon Brown instead of Gordon.
Thats the thing - Cameron is being exposed by these debates. There never was a positive surge for him anyway - just a big surge away from Brown.
Cameron is a little man of no substance or strength.
Well put, solarider, I'm in rather the same boat. Bugger indeed!
First and last names...the BBC do the same often during interviews. I think it's a way to refer to someone without being too informal (first name) or formal "Mr X"
I think Brown got it tonight, with Cleggy a close second ... poor old Dave is on the bench!
GRRRRRR! They just did it again! In the middle of Clegg's summing up, they cut to a giant shot of the 'Sky News Leaders Debate' sign.
ALRIGHT, WE KNOW!!!!!
Love the post-debate interviews now....
Labour chaps - "The Prime Minister was the bestest and he won it hands down!"
Conservative chaps - "David Cameron was the bestest and he won it hands down!"
LibDems chaps - "Nick Clegg was the bestest and he won it hands down!"
SNP - "Wah, wah, wah. 's not fair. Och ay the noo, where's me deep fried chewits, mon?"
😉
