General Secretary of the GMB union, John Edmonds, said the high value of the pound could affect exporters and create "some big job losses". Speaking on GMTV, he pressed Gordon Brown to voice support for the Euro. A link with a weaker single currency would get the pound down, he said.

Speaking on the BBC's Breakfast with Frost programme, the Lib Dem leader said Britain was too ingrained in the "destructive way of tribal politics". Working together with Labour would forge a modern constitution, he said. He underlined that his party would fight every Labour seat at an election.

He told the BBC the Tory election campaign had been "outclassed" by the other parties. "Wi are going to surpass them in the future. That means learning things from them," he said. But he said he would not follow Labour in stifling dissent, calling Labour MPs "a pretty lifeless and pathetic lot".

The Victorian house in the north London borough was on the market for over £600,000 and estate agents predicted it would fetch considerably more. At one stage it was thought the Blairs might continue using the property. However it was decided that the security arrangements would be too disruptive for their neighbours.

Llew Smith said the only way to stop moves towards a separate Wales was to oppose the assembly. The Blaenau Gwent MP is a long-standing critic of devolution. He caused a row last month when he said he had been threatened about his opposition to Labour's plans.

The Conservative leader told the BBC he would abide by the decision of the Scottish and Welsh people. Referendums are being held in September. "If they vote for it in the referendums...we will have to respect that for the future," said Mr Hague. He added that the Tories were demonstrating "the value of listening".
