- One of the first firm indicators on the success – or otherwise – of Michael Howard’s leadership and the Conservative campaign will come around 1am, with the significant Calder Valley result from West Yorkshire. If Tories were to capture this seat from Labour, it could indicate the Government’s Commons majority has been cut to less than 100. The Scotsman (1 May)
