The Liberal Democrats have got the name of their own party leader wrong in a leaflet sent to homes in Hove.

The Focus leaflet refers to Charles Kennedy - but spells it Kenendy.

Hove Labour Party campaign co-ordinator Brian Fitch said: "It's a real gaffe when they can't even spell the surname of their party leader correctly.

"We are willing to give help with spelling to the Liberal Democrats."

Coun Paul Elgood, leader of the Liberal Democrat group on Brighton and Hove City Council, said: "Brian Fitch must be truly worried about his chances of getting back on the council if this is the best he can come up with."

Charles Kennedy will hope to boost his public image when he takes ousted Angus Deayton's place as chairman on BBC news quiz Have I Got News For You? this week.
