Gordon Brown finally finds someone to kick

It's taken a while for Gordon Brown to find a target he can safely pick on - someone who wouldn't be able to shoot back "well, at least I'm better off than you, matey" - but he's managed it.

He's having a go at Jedward, who are apparently in the current run of The X Factor:

Gordon Brown doesn't rate X Factor's Grimes twins. The PM told a Manchester radio station: "I don't think they're very good."

To laughter, he then asked the audience: "Does anyone want John and Edward to win X Factor?"

Meanwhile, Jedward appear on tonight's The Westminster Hour on BBC Radio 4, pointing out that they've still got a chance of winning their popular vote.
