Guardian Daily: Gordon Brown hangs on after election wipeout

As Labour considers whether its fortunes are improved with or without Gordon Brown, senior political commentator Michael White assesses the party's way forward following its humiliating performance in the European elections.

We hear from voters in the traditional Labour stronghold of Barnsley, where the far-right British National party won 16% of the vote. Northern editor Martin Wainwright reports.

Europe editor Ian Traynor looks at the picture across the continent, with centre-right parties achieving success in a range of member states.

In other news, Ireland correspondent Henry McDonald reports from Belfast, where families of the Omagh bomb victims are celebrating a landmark legal victory.

And in the Guardian's Justice on Trial series - examining cases of possible miscarriages of justice - Paul Blackburn tells Peter Walker how it feels to have served 25 years for a murder he didn't commit.
