Tories bounce
Fraser Nelson 5:52pmI'm hearing unconfirmed reports that the Channel Four/YouGov poll has Labour's lead reduced to four points. The last YouGov poll (for the Telegraph) had a Labour lead of 11 points. Given the margin of error in these polls, that takes us into reduced majority territory for Brown. The phrase "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" springs to mind. The results will be here at 7pm.
Crucial for Cameron not to let the momentum slip. He must start campaigning now as if the election had already started. It is time to start spelling out family and education plans. As James said, Brown is at his worst when he's rattled. If the poll rumours are right, he must campaign all the way into next week when Brown's parliamentary onslaught will start.
