Lib-Dem-a-rama

There are Lib Dems everywhere today, CoffeeHousers, and they’re differentiating like crazy. We had Nick Clegg himself on the Andrew Marr show earlier, waxing lukewarm about Boris Island, and there have been moments of assertiveness from his party colleagues as well. Here’s a quick round-up:

1) Chris Huhne. The embattled energy minister hasn’t taken to the airwaves today, but he is omnipresent nonetheless. A good portion of Clegg’s Marr appearance was devoted to him, with the Deputy Prime Minister stressing that ‘he has been crystal clear that he denies any wrong doing’ — but not quashing the idea that Huhne would lose his job if those denials turn out to be false. Meanwhile, the Sunday Times has word of a ‘crucial’ new witness (£) in Huhne’s speeding case. And ‘friends of Mr Huhne’ appear in the Independent on Sunday to accuse David Cameron’s press secretary, Gabby Bertin, of briefing against him over those leaked Royal Yacht plans.
