WILL KILROY BE HERE?

Robert Kilroy-Silk is "seriously considering" standing in the by-election caused by the nomination of Peter Mandelson as an EU commissioner.
The UKIP MEP said he was "coming under considerable pressure" from the party to run for the Westminster seat.

The pro-euro Lib Dems claim they are in pole position to snatch Hartlepool from Labour.

But Mr Mandelson, who has a 15,000 majority, said he believed Labour could hold on to the seat.
