Oh dear – is this what the next six weeks are going to be like? I'm a card carrying Tory – but I won't be much longer if the party carries out debate at this level.

My point’s that it’s not the advertising that matters, it’s the content.
I have no way of knowing whether the original post was placed by the Labour party, though I suspect that Simon Hoare posted his – or at least one of his aides. I can tell you that I didn’t pay to say what I did.
The chances that Twitter’s ban will make the slightest difference to the way this campaign is conducted are slim.
The only way that things will change is if ordinary voters make it clear they are disgusted with the continuance of project fear.
We have six weeks more of our third election in five years. Can politicians please keep this election to issues and behave with a degree of good manners towards each other.
