    Best joke so far. 😀
    I’m afraid more will be needed to get us through the night…

  • He’s not even wearing a hat….

  • In May last year Paddy talked a lot about hispreference for ‘Liberal Democrats for Cake’.
    In May this year he talks about eating his hat.

  • How was Paddy so badly informed/briefed?

  • Paddy has just said to Dermot Murnaghan on Sky that NC should be “given a bit of space to make his own decision”.

    I am broken hearted this morning, We have lost the best MP we have ever had in Surbiton, We have lost Simon Hughes and Vince Cable. All tragic but we have to pick ourselves up this am and get back to work.
    Speculating about leaders wont help. Get back to the canvass cards and get out on the door step.Its the only way
