PM price pledge after poll drubbing

Gordon Brown has vowed to do "whatever is necessary" to help people struggling with rising food and fuel prices in the wake of Labour's catastrophic defeat in the Glasgow East by-election.

The Prime Minister, who earlier brushed off a call by Tory leader David Cameron for a General Election, insisted that he understood popular concerns at a time of global economic problems.

Addressing Labour's National Policy Forum at the Warwick University campus in Coventry, he promised new measures in the coming weeks to help people cope with the pressures of energy costs.
