Coming up soon on BBC Radio 4 is Any Questions with Jonathan Dimbleby. Tonight the debate comes from Wisbech Grammar School in Cambridgeshire and taking part are Labour's Yvette Cooper, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey, Deputy Leader of UKIP, Paul Nuttall MEP, and Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, Priti Patel.

Ed Miliband says during his speech in Glasgow: "Don't gamble with the SNP when you can guarantee change with Labour.

"The SNP might very well let the Tories in.

"And you know if we set England against Scotland if set any part of our country against another it does not help working people it harms working people in Scotland and across the United Kingdom.

"Nationalism does not understand we are stronger not weaker when we look after each other."

Ed Miliband in Glasgow speaking now has just praised the Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy who he says is "doing a brilliant job" and has shown "incredible energy, incredible commitment and incredible passion".

The former Labour First Minister Jack McConnell, has warned that public opinion might not accept the next government unless it is led by the party with the biggest number of seats.

He told Newsnight that if David Cameron won more seats, even without a majority, "the public perception will be that he has won" and "anyone who tries to get around that, to get a deal to get a different PM will be in trouble."

Lord McConnell said: "General opinion affects what happens in ways that ride over the mechanics."

A poll for the Daily Mirror by Survation put Labour one point ahead of the Conservatives (34% and 33%). UKIP were on 16%, Liberal Democrats had 9% and the Greens, 3%.

Survation, which polled 1,117 people online yesterday and today including some who watched the BBC Question Time leaders programme, suggested David Cameron emerged ahead.

The Conservative leader was picked as the victor over Labour's Ed Miliband by 37% to 28% with Nick Clegg behind on 10%.

The Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft says his final round of polling in marginal constituencies, external contains "mixed news for all parties".

"In East Renfrewshire, Labour's Jim Murphy has narrowed the gap from nine points to three since my previous poll earlier this month", he says, adding that this seem largely down to Conservative voters switching sides.

Lord Ashcroft says the "most striking" poll result was in Croydon Central, where there was a four-point Conservative lead over Labour in telephone surveys carried out on Thursday.

Ed Miliband is due to give a speech in Glasgow, where Labour supporters were joined by some protesters outside. Some of them shouted "red Tories out", the BBC's James Cook reports, external.

Ed Miliband has been clear for some time he wouldn't be offering the prospect of a coalition to the SNP. Privately then publicly he stated his approach if he is in a position to form a minority government. He would put forward a Queen's Speech -a legislative programme - without an SNP deal and dare the nationalists to vote it down. He thinks he is in a strong position because Nicola Sturgeon has said she wouldn't give David Cameron the keys to Downing Street. But by going even further and saying he would rather not be in government than do a deal with the SNP he has given Nicola Sturgeon a powerful weapon in her so far successful battle to persuade former Labour voters in Scotland to back her party because - as at the referendum- she can argue that Ed Miliband is too close to the Tories. So why do it? Well, the polls suggest that Scotland has turned from fertile to hostile territory for Labour so he has in effect given up on the prospect of very many former voters returning to the fold. But in 50 key English marginals, polling for ComRes suggests - after a relentless focus on this by the Conservatives - three out of five voters are worried about the influence the SNP would have over a minority government. So he decided to try to eliminate this negative rather than pursue an all but lost cause.
