Nick Cleggs desperate apology in the run up to Brighton conference. Only the words "I resign" will do.

In the run up to the Liberal Democrats Brighton conference and in a desperate attempt to stave off any sort of leadership challenge NickClegg has said sorry for deceiving voters over tuition fees. All I can say to that is to late Nick it was meant to be a core part of what you as Lib Dems stood for and instead you kowtowed to Cameron and made deal with the devil in exchange for minimal reward and even less personal power. The only acceptable apology is "I'm sorry I betrayed the voters  for personal power and I resign to give the Liberal Democrats a fighting chance at the next election".

Why the hell is George Osborne still in a job and why is David Laws in the cabinet and not prison? #reshuffle

David Cameron has announced his new look cabinet and its rather unexciting the only good news is that Ken Clarke has gone leaving us to wonder how did he get the job in the first place He does remain as a minister without portfolio so he cant do any damage and as a sop to the old wing of the party. George Osborne who as chancellor has killed off the small recovery that was happening when he took over and has shoved us back into recession is still inexplicably Chancellor.  Finally expenses fraudster David Laws has been given a small role a junior education minister. Is this a tacit admission that Nick Clegg and David Cameron approve of or at least turn a blind eye to fraud. the rest is minor people moving into minor roles.

Tories day of spin over lords reform and Nick Cleggs stupid mistake

Today Tory tweeters are all agog trying to spin Nick Cleggs blocking of boundary changes (gerrymandering) in retaliation for the Tories betrayal over Lords reform as some sort of betrayal.

 They are trying to claim that the boundary redrawing is linked to the AV referendum. However if you look at the coalition-agreement there are absolutely no  linked agreements i.e AV for Lords reform. it is an all encompassing agrement. The Tories broke the agreement so the whole thing is now binned.

However i can have no sympathy for  the Lib Dems they made a deal with the devil and the devil is a much better liar than they are. It was very naive off Nick Clegg to believe that the conservatives would ever keep to their end of the agrement. Their entire philosophy is I got mine screw you.

Clegg pledges to defend NHS

This is a pledge that Nick Clegg must keep to we do not want an American style system where health care is provided to only those who have money and at a far greater cost than what we currently pay.
