Labour slammed over leaflets
The Labour party faced a wave of criticism yesterday after using private data to mailshot thousands of cancer survivors to take a swipe at the Tories.

Labour denied the leaflets were specifically targeted at cancer patients.

He suggested a hung parliament would be better as the parties would have to work together.
