In a wide-ranging hour-long session he fielded questions on the European Union and water bills, rural housing and post office closures tearing the heart out of rural areas.

He backed the use of wind farms to help the environment, criticised the cost of the new logo for the Cornwall super-council and said a cull of diseased badgers could help to tackle TB in cattle herds in the Westcountry.

And he repeated his call for Gordon Brown to call a general election and said if the PM was toppled by poor opinion poll ratings his successor would have to go to the country immediately.

The event was attended by 70 readers, businesses leaders and campaigners at the Metropole Hotel in Padstow.
