Around the Hospital In the bank holiday that marked nearly a year since Southampton's last set of local elections, we were out talking to voters who lived near Southampton General Hospital.

We don't stop for rain (usually) This Saturday, two Labour Action Teams were out speaking to residents in the areas near Shirley High Street.

Gordon Brown: You have to grow not cut your way out of a recession
There is a new Party Election Broadcast by the Labour Party.
The broadcast will argue you cannot cut your way out of recession - you've got to grow your way out of it. It will say that together we can fight back against this international recession and build a stronger, fairer Britain.
The broadcast will highlight the stark contrast between Labour action now and the last recession when people were left to fend for themselves.
