Grimsby's Austin Mitchell "may not win"
A shock for anyone who thought the parliamentary constituency of Great Grimsby was a rock-solid Labour stronghold.
The wife of veteran Labour MP Austin Mitchell has admitted he "may not win" at the forthcoming general election.
Linda McDougall was speaking to Peter Levy on BBC Radio Humberside, following Mr Mitchell's admission that he overclaimed by more than £10,000 for a mortgage as part of his parliamentary expenses.
Austin Mitchell told Peter he had no plans to step down after 33 years as a Labour MP.
I'm Tim Iredale, the BBC's Political Editor in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and presenter of the regional Politics Show. This is strictly a "no-spin" zone where the political viewpoint is more Humber Bridge than Westminster Bridge. Your comments and observations are more than welcome.
