Labour's 'ultimate force' to visit Nottingham

The Labour Party is set to unleash a special weapon for its election campaign in Nottingham tomorrow.
Not content with the recent appearance of Gordon Brown and John Prescott, party officials are taking the battle for Notts one stage further.
Actor Ross Kemp - who starred in TV drama Ultimate Force and presented a number of programmes on gangs - is set to make an appearance in the city to boost the centre-left party.
Let's hope the hard-boiled former Eastender doesn't have a "spot o' bother" with the locals.

Brown forgets mic again!

It seems Gordon Brown is a slow learner.
Most people would have remembered the importance of removing a microphone if they had been subject to the biggest gaff at the 2010 General Election.
But for Mr Brown, it seems calling a woman "bigot" while on the air unawares, is still not enough.
During a visit to a primary school in Blidworth, an aide to the Prime Minister had to grunt "MIC!" before Mr Brown remembered to take it off his jacket.
Who knows what he may have said about a Nottingham Post reporter who quizzed him on immigration after getting in the car.
