Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Olympic Minister Tessa Jowell visited Loughborough University with Labour candidate Andy Reed today.

The Prime Minister met Olympic hopefuls and toured the facilities at the University - which will be home to Team GB in the lead up to the 2012 games.

Andy Said "We have made investment in our sport infrastructure over the last decade - as Gordon saw today. We have also invested in our elite athletes and the infrastructure that surrounds them - with Loughborough benefiting of course. The news that Team GB will be based here confirms our status as THE leading sports University in the UK and worldwide!

"But what we also wanted to show Gordon was the work the University is doing in health and physical activity as well.

"We didn't come 4th in the medal table in Bejing by accident. It was down to the hard work of athletes and coaches backed up by a system of total support. "

Nick Clegg is finally confirming what we have long suspected. The Lib Dem leadership will support David Cameron’s Tories in a hung parliament. His comments in newspaper articles show that he is clearly signalling he wants a deal with the Tory leader.

Under the leadership of Nick Clegg it has been obvious for some time that he wanted to do a deal with Cameron and the Tories.

Former Lib Dem candidate in 2005 for Loughborough Graeme Smith said

“ A vote for the lib Dems in Loughborough now almost guarantees a Tory government and Cameron in Downing Street. I know there will be many Lib Dem members and supporters horrified at that prospect. It is clear now that here in Loughborough there is only one progressive choice – Andy Reed.

Hundreds of people turned out to listen to the main candidates at the Loughborough Churches Partnership last night at Emmanuel Church.

Andy Reed said “It was good to see so many people at the hustings meeting. I hope they got as much out of it as I did. I thoroughly enjoy this sort of event where we can set out our beliefs, values and policies directly with so many people. It always feels a shame there isn’t more time to explore some the issues in more depth and to cover even more subject areas.
