After the triumph of his first appearance on The Last Leg in January, Nick Clegg returns to the sofa tonight. It’s a risk, for sure. Can he repeat the success of the last time when Twitter was full of praise for his sense of fun and natural manner? Remember when he persuaded Alex Brooker to vote by comparing it to a visit to Nando’s?
Well, people liked him because he was natural and funny and entirely himself. No other political leader in Britain could have come out of that unscathed. If you meet him in person, you have to be trying really hard to dislike him. It’s a pity we can’t get him onto 40 million doorsteps.
We are all invited to send him our questions via Twitter?
The Last Leg boys are welcoming @nick_clegg onto the sofa tomorrow night. Got a question? Then send us your #isitok@TheLastLeg

With two weeks to go this is the best way to get him on the equivalent a few hundred thousand doorsteps.
No doubt there will be some obstacles, like the “Bull***t Button and other less dignified but very funny questions to negotiate.
I’m also looking forward to seeing the mayhem that The Last Leg team wrought on the campaign battle bus:
