What the papers say…

The Times leads with the surge by Ukip and the SNP, while the Telegraph are broadly similar, but with a dig at Ed Miliband.
The Independent calls it the “technicolour vote” as Nicola Sturgeon tops debate poll, the Sun lines up with the Telegraph – they think Miliband has blown it.
No surprise from Scotland’s pro-independent paper The National, while the Indy’s smaller brother the I calls it the “Dawn of rainbow politics” and an “epic TV battle”.
