From ConservativeHome:

ConservativeHome has learnt that 16 to 24 jobs are likely to be lost at CCHQ in coming weeks. Staff were informed yesterday.

The difficult financial climate – and recent (probably temporary) slippage in the polls – has hit fundraising and forced CCHQ to take a close look at how it uses all resources.

Read the full story here.

Ha ha, excellent comment Stuart.

I suspect that all the political parties, including the Liberal Democrats will be suffering in the financial downturn.
At a time when political parties have to adjust to the failures of economic liberalism and spend more money researching what to do about it, they instead actually have less money.
Time for state funding of political parties.
