Leaders prepare for live debate
As the leaders of seven political parties are gearing up for tonight’s live, two-hour televised general election debate preparations are go in the studio. They have even had the sniffer dogs checking out the multi-coloured podiums set up in Salford for this evening’s battle.
The debate tonight, which was announced after weeks of wrangling, will be the only time David Cameron and Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, face one another in a debate before polling day.
