The best leaflet correction so far; you’ve got to love the biro work.
Phil Willis shows his moves (but just skip over 1 min 48 sec, ok?).
Ben Goldacre edges close to saying “Vote Lib Dem” here and here.
Esther Rantzen takes to removing Liberal Democrat posters in Luton South.
Not heard the David Cameron song? Hear it here. (Hat tip: Jonathan Calder)
And the prize for the worst campaign interview goes to UKIP leader, Lord Pearson (clip via Left Foot Forward):
And not so fun: Labour Party disowns controversial leaflet and orders its distribution to be stopped.

Good. I am relieved to see clarification, but it was not helped by giving air-time to John Hirst. Just to be clear:
i. I believe that, on release from gaol, prisoners should be returned the franchise.
ii. I don’t necessarily consider non-payment of taxes to be malam in se. It is an offense against the State which we all must live in, and potentially against civic society in the cases of ‘dissenters’ (one of whom is a good friend of mine, and I’ve said this to her) who argue they should decide where their taxes go whilst availing themselves of the full benefits of municipal services. By this token, Paul Staines could withhold whatever proportion would go to the NHS.
iii. In relation to ii., however, I would listen to cases for certain categories of custodial sentences retaining the franchise. But others, such as drug-dealing (which another good friend of mine is currently serving time for) should not.
As for the leaflet itself, we get puerile stuff like that in all campaigns. Colin Eldridge isn’t having much luck, is he?
Glad to see Lord Pearson there. Apart from the opinion polls, it’s my highlight of the campaign so far.
Check out Plaid’s leader Elfyn Llwyd on Drangon’s Eye (BBC1 Wales) still on the iPlayer until tomorrow – it’s even worse than UKIP!
@Alec: You are such a bore!
