Brown’s busted flush

Gordon Brown’s big gamble to stake his premiership on 13 years’ stewardship of the economy looked to have failed last night after pollsters made David Cameron the clear winner from the third and final TV debate.

A YouGov snapshot following the 90-minute head-to-head in Birmingham placed the Conservative leader well ahead on 41 points, Nick Clegg on 32 and Mr Brown well back on 25 while a Comres survey had the leaders on 35, 33 and 26 respectively.
