Amazingly, later on, Adam Boulton the moderator, actually attacked Clegg and only Clegg by asking him directly about the morning's Telegraph story. I thought Clegg (who has dealt with the lies and slanders with some dignity) put him down like a mad dog, but the fact remains, the Sky News moderator deliberately broke the rules and tried to influence the debate. Shameful, especially alongside the Tory press gang attack earlier in the day. Mercifully, the British electorate don't seem to agree with the Mail and Murdoch that they are bought and paid for.
    It's dodgy as flip, that's for sure.

    The Times today has produced a poll based on a wide survey of Rupert Murdoch and his editorial team:

    I found the whole thing a total yawn. But Clag was a bit better than Brown, who did the wise old statesman act about as best as he could. Cameron tried to hit the right notes, and no doubt did with the already converted. But I don't think he'll win over anyone.

    I still think that Labour will sneak it. Majority of 10.
