Rebekah Brooks can't be happy with her ex, Ross Kemp

Ross Kemp, formerly Grant in EastEnders, now a pretty fair television documentary journalist and presenter, has been out on the stump with Gordon Brown, whipping up support in the final days of his campaign. I'm sure he's a perfectly committed Labour man, but I can't help thinking he must get a kick too out of annoying his former wife, Rebekah Wade. Now styling herself Rebekah Brooks – she was never Rebekah Kemp – she famously burst into the offices of the Independent during the election campaign and berated the newspaper's editor, Simon Kelner, for having a go at her boss. Her remarkable behaviour is put down to her angst after persuading Rupert Murdoch to get behind David Cameron very early, when Murdoch prefers his papers simply to select the party that looks like it's going to win. Kelner and Kemp, in a final twist of tortured affiliations, are devoted to each other. So at least one Lab-Lib Dem coalition is blossoming nicely.
