Man, Christmas at the Alexander household must be a boring, boring day
Ah, it seems I’m the only one here. And even I might give up, it’s so dull.
No, I’m here. Strangely, I have little to say tonight.
Ha, Lib Dem question! We’re a party of back-stabbers!
Yes, Aaronovitch has it right. That was a glorious moment for the Lib Dems!
Can’t think why it’s quieter here this week than last week…?
I was going to start a “who do you fancy the most?” line of discussion. But I’m guessing you would have put a stop to that fairly swiftly!
Come to this late but impressed by a couple of points made
David Aaronovitch saying the Huhne/Clegg spat was good because was about policy and that’s what political debate should be about
Man in audience saying at least we were electing our leader unlike Labour
Annabel Goldie pointing out that the current row over funding to Scotland is being misrepresented by English media; perhaps she should have a word with her Tory colleagues south of the border
I’m a Liberal, Laurence – so if you’d said either of the two Davids it would have been fine 🙂
They’re all Davids tonight… Aaronovitch claiming English voters want tuition fees and don’t want free social care cos that’s what we voted for. And has now gone on to defend extending detention without charge or trial. He sounds like an on-message Labour MP not a journo.
Steel being sound and applauded on detention.
Only problem is that my old Manchester mucker Aaronovitch is wrong and they didn’t actually debate policy at all.
They just did a spitty spat.
As if Lib Dem policy actually matters anyway.
You can say anything. And too many times when you get local power you are stuffed.
You should work on that.
Commit a bit.
NB Aaronovitch is not actually my mate. As such.
Ha. Haha.
Of course our policies matter. Why else would the Big Two keep stealing them if they didn’t?
We haven’t won enough votes to get a majority but we’ve never stopped winning policy arguments.
Too easy. Next troll please.
