Gord is coming

Gord will be passing through the East Midlands tomorrow for the first leg of his regional "recession" tour.

The idea is that he gets out to meet Joe public and tell them all about things he's doing to fight the recession.

I can't tell you exactly where he's going yet, but I'll have a chance to quiz him tonight.

The Tories for their part are sending Andrew Mitchell up to Nottingham to meet business leaders today, better something than nothing.
