What was this all about?
Was this the weirdest moment of the campaign? I’ve now watched this several times and I still can’t answer my own question. Why has a complete news cycle for Labour been dominated by Gordon and the Elvis impersonator? What was the plan? What was the big idea? UPDATE – I’ve changed the video clip to the Channel 4 version – it’s even more strange. Majority betting NOM CON LAB OTH/LD Ladbrokes 4/6 11/8 16/1 20/1 Political Smarkets 57% 40% 5%…

Is Brown in for a shock from ICM tonight?
Lots of hints starting to emerge about the polls for the Sunday papers. Kratz reported this on an earlier thread: “Labour are losing ground in ICM to both the Lib Dems and the Tories. The gap between Tories and LD is greater than in the previous ICM but the LD share is higher once again.
