Labour's retiring Great Grimsby MP, Austin Mitchell, has dismissed claims he said the party could retain the seat at the election even if its candidate was an "alcoholic" or "paedophile".
Mr Mitchell, who is to vacate his seat in May, was quoted making the comment in an Independent on Sunday interview.
But he told the BBC: "If that was said, it was as a joke and I'm not sure I would have phrased it like that."

Oh well it was all a joke so that's OK then.... Unless it's a UKIP or Tory member that is... In that case it's the crime of the century...
