Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy is due to make a personal statement within the next hour.

The statement will pre-empt media allegations about his alleged alcohol problems - it will not be a resignation statement, the BBC understands.

He has said he will make the statement at Lib Dem headquarters at 1745 GMT.

Mr Kennedy has faced repeated calls to hold a vote of confidence to end talk about his future - but has insisted this would be a distraction.

The BBC has learnt that just under half of Mr Kennedy's front bench team have signed a letter informing him that they no longer have confidence in his leadership.

The letter has not yet been presented to Mr Kennedy but he is said to be aware of its existence.

Eleven out of 23 party spokespeople - ranging from junior to senior figures - signed the letter before Christmas.

This did not include the three men thought most likely to run for party leader if Mr Kennedy stands down or is removed.

BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said: "Had any one of Sir Menzies Campbell, Simon Hughes and Mark Oaten added their names there would have been a majority of Mr Kennedy's top team calling - in effect - for him to resign.

"Those who signed the letter hoped it would convince Mr Kennedy that he had no choice but to stand aside. "

The inconsiderate fool's making the statement right in the middle of Neighbours and I didn't see the lunchtime one. Bastard.
