Cameron admits he cannot win majority, says Scriven

DAVID CAMERON admitted that he cannot win a majority in Thursday’s election, a senior Lib Dem claimed yesterday as panic spread among Tory MPs.

Tory aides said that the claim was “100 per cent untrue” and “complete nonsense” and showed that the Lib Dem campaign was in a state of panic.
