Brown to fight on ’until the very last second’

Gordon Brown today vowed to fight to “the very last second” for a Labour victory in the General Election, as the Liberal Democrats claimed they were now the main contenders in a two-horse race with the Tories.

The Prime Minister pledged “to try harder, to work longer and to dig deeper” in the remaining days after the third and final leaders’ debate failed to deliver the breakthrough Labour strategists were hoping for.
