Tim Razzell begins this morning's Liberal Democrat press conference by announcing that Charles Kennedy's wife Sarah gave birth to a baby boy this morning at 12.45am. Donald James is 6lb 9oz.
Menzies Campbell, who is standing in for the absent leader, turns to the party's tax and spending plans, which stand for "economic freedom and social justice". With voters distrustful of parties which say they won't have to raise taxes, the Lib Dems say "no to hidden taxes".
Instead they're committed to raising the top rate of income tax for those earning more than £100,000 a year to pay for free personal care for the elderly and the abolition of council tax and student fees.
