Fans of last week's Anthony Minghella short film Tony and Gordon: The Policy Mission may also enjoy the extra footage of Tony and Gordon: The Africa Challenge, which is now available to watch on Tony Blair's blog. The British public aren't ungenerous, the pair agree. But how can they make them care about Africa as much as they cared about the tsunami?

Mr Blair - who denied suggestions this morning that he had been using fake tan - took the train to a Dartford hospital with Cherie yesterday.

Well, it wasn't until today that Labour opened up a nine-point lead lead over the Conservatives and a 19-point lead over the Lib Dems. Makes a PM nervous.
