AND that future Prime Minister (maybe)...

became SuperTed!

ITV News has unearthed footage of Ed Miliband speaking in 1991 about a rent strike on behalf of Oxford students - but the Labour leader was confusingly referred to as Ted in the archives.

Political Correspondent Phil Hornby showed the film to Mr Miliband, who laughed and agreed he was known as Ted then.

"I was a Ted, but it feels like a long time ago, and that's because it probably was a long time ago," he said.

WE know Alex Salmond likes a bet. So it would be interesting to know what he makes of the actions of a punter in Aberdeen, who has apparently bet £3,000 that he will lose in his bid to return to Westminster.

With Mr Salmond an overwhelming favourite, they would stand to win £18,000 if the gamble pays off and the LibDems take the seat instead. LibDem insiders have been insisting the race is far tighter in the Gordon constituency than many think. It seems someone, at least, is convinced.

The young are more likely to back Labour and the old support the Tories. Or so the conventional wisdom goes.

But a junior general election, conducted by youngsters' newspaper First News, has found that David Cameron would be waltzing back into 10 Downing Street if kids had their way.

Mr Cameron won 40 per cent of more than 5,000 votes from readers, predominantly of seven to 14-year-olds. Ed Miliband was on 22 per cent, with Natalie Bennett, of the Greens, on 18 per cent.
