Former Conservative Party chairman Norman Tebbit has accused Labour leader Neil Kinnock of not being up to the job after losing his temper while being cross-examined on the radio. Kinnock halted an interview on Radio 4 yesterday after protesting at the line of questioning on trade figures. Tebbit claims it shows Kinnock is cracking under pressure. Paul Rowley asks the questions.
