So the big question of the day is will Ruth Kelly MP for Bolton West stand again for Bolton West of do a bunk across to Bolton South East?

Ms Kelly has a tough job trying to juggle her duties as a government Minister and the needs of Bolton West but that is not an excuse to keep us all in the dark, we need to know.

Surely the best way to stop the current speculation is to confirm her intentions either way. Then and only then can we, the people she is supposed to represent, challenge her about her performance in respect to her Bolton West duties. So come on Ruth let the cat out of the bag and tell us what is it your are going to do.
