WRITTEN BY PAUL MASON

Hello,

Hi, Paul Mason here. I'm in Derby, on the trail of the prime minister, who is here to announce 35,000 new apprenticeships. It's part of his whirlwind tour: get out of London and see the world, seems to be the idea. But the world he's come to is Labourworld: Rolls Royce is about the most unionised company I can imagine; it's a high skilled global manufacturing company.

The problem is most of the UK is different: it's sustained by services and consumer spending and debt. I'm not sure how much of that world Gordon Brown is seeing - and without a big revival in the credit markets, how much he can actually do for it.

Also tonight Mark Urban in Jerusalem will have the latest on whether there is a peace plan for Gaza and Steve Smith with his own unique take on the latest crisis in English Cricket.

Howzat?

Join Jeremy at 10.30. BBC Two.
