Mark Bridger

David Cameron, Tory

Prime Minister David Cameron will address the nation at 11.30 today. At the Conservative Party Conference (#cpc12)

According to our writer, Andrew Grice, the PM wants to end the Tory party's lurch right with a speech that shows off his compassionate side today.

@David_Cameron evokes the Olympic spirit (in particular watersports) in his tweet: "I’m levelling with the British people in my speech at 11.30. It's sink or swim, do or decline. How we'll ensure Britain wins the Global Race ."

@timothy_stanley tweets: "David Cameron to tell conference that it's sink or swim. And Osborne's throwing us an anvil. cpc2012"

Gwen Stefani

Twitter appears to be celebrating @Gwen_Stefani's birthday, even though, according to her Wikipedia entry, it was actually seven days ago, on October 3. Never mind, with a new album out in Japan and at 43 she's still smokin' hot. Many happy returns, Gwen.
