21.02 - Clegg knows he's on the firmest ground here, as he's being making noises about political reform for a long time. Cam basically has nothing here, but does make the point that Labour have had 13 years to make reforms if they wanted them.
21.05 - Cam wants to pick "Nick" up on what he's said, because there's "a slight danger of a holier than though attitude". To be fair, it is good to see the Libs get a grilling for once, much as they might have the best lines on this.
21.07 Cam makes a repulsive "whoops" face when Clegg doesn't answer a question about some old financial scandal. He didn't even hear it, to be fair to him.
21.09 - Schools. Some posho asks what they'll do to "improve education". So general, so easy to answer. Poor question. He was a kid, though, to be fair. I'm in a fair mood tonight.
21.11 - Cam (so sorry to be calling him that - it's just quick to type) harps on about cutting bureaucracy and quangos, not for the first time. He also mentions discipline, ffs. C'mon , where are these modern Tories I keep hearing about?
21.15 - Cam's just as smooth as ever. Clegg's actually doing pretty well. He appears pretty likeable anyway (whatever that's worth). Brown's smirking weirdly and basically having a bit of a shocker. My housemate reckons Brown's playing it tactically - being nice to Clegg and avoiding engaging with Cam. Wants the Liberals' support, you see.
21.20 - We're on to the economy. I'm surprised it took us this long, as this is supposed to be the biggest issue in this election. Campaign speeches ahoy!
21. 24 - Clegg's all about being "straight" with us, thankfully. The other two are obviously lying then. Clegg is pulling "oh, you two" faces at every opportunity. He's so different! Don't you believe it?
21.28 - Brown's forced smiles are even more embarrassing than his grimaces. He looks insane. He has a nice tie though. I notice such things. I'm not ashamed of it.
21.30 - Clegg keeps talking about "politicians" like they're other people. I do like him and he's doing quite well tonight, but I can't see how you can change the system from inside it (unless you're far enough inside it to, y'know, win).
21.32 - We have now arrived at Platitude Central - the armed forces. They're all fans. Who knew?
21.35 - Clegg keeps mentioning Sheffield (part of which is his constituency), weirdly. The others haven't referred to their constituencies. Maybe Cam is ashamed of Witney. Clegg clearly has no such feelings about his. It's in the North, you know. I might be reading too much into this.
21.39 - Ah, Trident renewal. Lonely ol' Clegg is the only one against it, sadly. Clegg's left hand is in his pocket. Nonchalant, or effected? I report, you decide. More importantly, is it effected, or affected? Fingers crossed.
21.43 - The NHS. Cam makes a massive deal about being a massive fan. This is the new Tories, I suppose. Lies, basically. Not to be cynical...
