Everyone’s favourite chief whip, our very own Alistair Carmichael, has taken the somewhat drastic step (at least to those of us positioned nearest the LDV towers booze cupboard) of making October a Scotch-free zone. As MP for a constituency boasting such fine exports, one suspects that’s not a decision that will have been taken lightly, but it has been taken in aide of the best of causes, namely Macmillan Cancer Support.
Alistair’s only been on the wagon for two-and-a-half days, but has already raised nearly £200. We’re sure that LDV readers will want to push that figure up (out of sympathy if nothing else), and you can do so here.
And as a token of his appreciation Alistair has already mentioned the possibility of him bringing some of constituency’s finest to conference for us all to sample.*
