Clegg welcomed the Guardian's and Observer's decision to back the party as a "significant moment in history".

• [May 02] Toby Helm and Nicky Woolf write: NICK Clegg gets ready to campaign in areas once thought unwinnable as Liberal Democrat confidence grows . .

. . Nick Clegg is to widen the Liberal Democrats' campaign to include Tory and Labour seats previously regarded as unwinnable, amid growing confidence that his party can make shock gains in Thursday's election. Private polling has indicated that several seats not previously on its hit list are now within the Lib Dems' grasp. Examples include the Labour-held stronghold of Redcar in north Yorkshire, Labour-held Colne Valley in west Yorkshire and the Tory-held seat of Wells in Somerset.
