Prime minister confronted by Yeadon GP during today’s visit to city
A Yeadon GP gave Prime Minister Gordon Brown a fiery Leeds welcome today as Labour’s election campaign came to the city.
Doctor Andrew Wright from Yeadon Health Centre this morning expressed his scepticism about Labour’s proposal to devolve more cancer diagnostic services from hospitals to health centres.
My Guardian colleague Paul Lewis – who you can follow on Twitter @paul_lewis – is on Brown’s election bus and was at the event to file a report.

Over at The Times, Brown denied any admission of failure over a ‘failure’ to regulate banks while speaking on this morning’s campaign visit to Leeds.
Over at the YEP, they report how Brown today paid a surprise visit to an 82-year-old Labour supporter in her Yeadon home. On a scheduled visit to Yeadon Health Centre, Alice Thompson’s doctor had told the Prime Minister she had wanted to meet him there but was not able to leave her home, a short distance away.
BBC Leeds has also updated its site with the story of Brown visiting Alica Thompson.
