The economy debate: Join us tonight

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

Last week, 2,500 people joined us on LabourList for our Live Blog of the second leaders’ debate, and another 500 joined in our joint LiveChat with the New Statesman, Liberal Conspiracy and Left Foot Forward.

This week, for the final debate on the economy, we’ll be repeating and expanding our online and offline events — with a live stream of the debate itself and instant photos and news from our joint debate watch and campaigning events in London and Manchester.

Join us from 7:30pm tonight as we collect comment, video clips and instant grassroots reaction to the final TV debate. We’ll be a one-stop shop. The debate itself begins at 8:30pm.

To mark the event, the Labour Party has just released this poster:
