At last, a statement from Sir Menzies…
Hilarious. Has all the authenticity of a statement drafted for a deposed African ruler. I suspect they had to sedate Elspeth, Ming’s formidable wife, before she let him sign it. So the LibDems perhaps do have a bit to learn about coups after all.“It has become clear that following the prime minister’s decision not to hold an election, questions about the leadership are getting in the way of further progress by the party. Accordingly, I now submit my resignation as leader with immediate effect”.
Brown will want Clegg to win – posh enough to repel left wing voters and suck support from Tories.
