In fairness to Sky they ran with the ComRes poll once they were able to. It was embargoed until 10pm. The C4 and Guardian polls mentioned above were not proper polls, they were conducted on each organisations various websites.

Jeff Randall is there, just seen in the background on the BBC News at 10.

Burley out of her depth here on the post analysis. Too much talking over eachother and Kay doing nothing to stop it.

Hmm, one camera breaking up and another showing pictures with a funny colour tint.

Solution:Cut to SkyCopter.

Will Kay Burley be able to step in to throw to the break or will it just cut off?

Surprised Sky can't balance their cameras right, the colours on one of the handhelds with Kay is shockingly dull!

Sky are claiming the YouGov poll as the definitive outcome of the debate, where two other polls say otherwise, and more polls and twitter opinions say otherwise. This is unacceptable, and I may send ofcom a complaint about this and I have never contemplated contacting ofcom about anything!

Channel 4: Clegg 52% Brown 31% Cam 17%
Guardian: Clegg 64% Brown 28% Cam 8%
Democracy UK on Facebook: 25% Brown - 27% Cameron- 48% Clegg
Comres poll: Clegg (33%), Cameron & Brown (30%)
GdnPolitics: Our reaction tracker's #leadersdebate verdict: positive votes = Lib Dem 57%, Lab 24%, Con 18% (over 2m votes cast)


Murdoch's YouGov/The Sun poll Cameron 36%, Clegg 32%, Brown 29%

Sky News seem to be very proud of their projections on the outside of the Arnolfini, bit disrespectful though of them to keep demolishing the building.

I think there is only one winner tonight; not Labour, not Conservatives, not Liberal Democrats, not even Sky News; the winner seems to be Bristol. I thought it looked fantastic in all those arial shots.

I wonder why ITV decided not to slap their brand all over the place on last weeks debate?

Dear God but Kay Burley is terrible - she cant control any discussion and is a shambles - Jeremy Thompson would have been much better.

Nice bit of calm now as we have Joey Jones with his ever superb analysis.

Well they obviously wanted these 2 to fight on TV. Kay probably got the instruction to let them do it. Very Happy

Sky were initially using the one poll that was available to them. When the ComRes poll was released, they covered it. Show me whereabouts on the BBC NC they are reporting the results of the online polls carried out by Channel4, the Guardian or the one on Facebook.

While I personally agree with the outcome of the Guardian poll there, you have to realise that the only two of those polls to be conducted using standard polling methods are the ComRes and YouGov ones. I can't see that Sky are emphasising one above the other, both results are alternating at the bottom of the screen.

She's worse than terrible.
