Hi,

Not posted (but have been reading) on here for ages.

My early potatoes have spots on the leaves and I'm not sure what it is.

If it is blight can I dig up and eat asap

If the brown spots form holes in the leaves my guess would be capsid bugs.

according to the Potato Council there have been no reported outbreaks of blight..the map is still clear here

No holes as yet 

This is a clump of 9 plants - the front 6 have it the back 3 don't.

Perhaps another picture will help ?

I hate to use the "B" word, but it does look a bit like early blight, (Target Spot).

See this for comparison:

If it is, then early blight is not a lot to panic about, here's the spud council's take:
