@Mick Taylor, you are right to focus on strategy since we have plenty of policy, but i think we also need a vision and better messaging. It is easy to have stro...- Nigel Jones

Clark Kent warns cat before flying off as Superman to save the world.
Headline:
“ED Davey Is On Grass!”
Story:
Liberal Democrat Leader, Sir Ed Davey, revealed his party drugs policy today, before a campaign walkabout.
Belinda, from Barnstaple, who met the Lib Dem leader, with her teenage son, Olly, who had got into trouble over cannabis posession, welcomed the Liberal Democrat leader’s announcements on soft drugs. ” That Ed Davey’s made a brave move, he’s certainly put the cat among the pigeons!”
“Your cousin Larry from Downing Street told you he saw *what*?”
Ed Davy fails to read the sign on the door clearly stating “No cold callers, No junk mail”, is sent flying by the irate householder, and tries to avoid any embarrassing photographs by making it look like he was deliberately on all fours in an attempt to stroke a cat…
Hang on. That cat isn’t on Connect!

“Can you smell Tim Farron’s spaniel?”
“THIS is how high the bar chart will go this time”
“Lifelong decent conservatives are fed up with Johnson and turning to us for a bright, optimistic future” says cat.
I don’t know where you’ve had that finger, human, but I’m not impressed
Ed is taking the knee.
“I thought I would find you here, Professor McGonagall”.
Ed: “Does your cat bite?”
Ms. Allden: “No, my cat does not bite.”
Ed: (Attempts to stroke cat, cat bites finger).
“I thought you said your cat does not bite!”.
Ms. Allden: “That is not my cat”.
(Apologies to Pink Panther).
Cat: “I don’t think much of this new milkman.”
Cat: “Thanks, but unless Focus is a new brand of cat food then I’m not interested.”
Cat: “An election? Oh no, not another one!”
Lib Dems on their knees again.
“Leading Liberal Democrats is like herding cats.”
Cat: “Just because she hasn’t got a baby you can kiss, don’t think you can try that one on me.”
Cat uses hypnotic powers to force random visitor to scratch a hard-to-reach place on its face.
