Last week Harriet Harman said a rumour had been put round that she’d – shock horror- taken a baby through the voting lobby:
When I came back after having my first baby I was reported to the serjeant-at-arms for breaking the rules by taking my baby through the division lobby under my jacket.
What a difference 30 years makes.
Tonight, Jo Swinson tweeted:
A little bit of history… @duncanhames the first MP to take a baby into the House of Commons voting lobby during a division! #fb

At least, we’re assuming that it was Andrew, not some random baby…
Lovely that he’s made history and he’s not even seven months old.
And, just because we can, let’s remind you of his only public photo so far. How cute can you get?

Fantastic! THIS is the kind of news story the Party needs to trumpet as loudly as it can. Everyone should forward it via Facebook, Twitter etc.
Ditto. Great to get a (truly) good news story from time-to-time. Two of my favourite Lib Dem MPs – really hope they can both hold their very marginal seats.
