Guardian Election Daily: Labour's 2010 manifesto

Gordon Brown unveiled what he called a "realistic and radical" manifesto in Birmingham today. With the assistance of many of his cabinet he took questions from the press and vowed to fight for a "future fair for all". We hear from the lead author of the manifesto, Ed Miliband ; the chancellor, Alistair Darling ; the schools secretary, Ed Balls; and the Olympics minister, Tessa Jowell . Party activists left the Queen Elizabeth hospital with a spring in their step – although not all were satisfied that enough was being done for those on low wages.
