Hames, Swinson to wed

By | Sun 20th June 2010 - 9:13 am

I had hoped not to write this story immediately after the last, less happy one, but sometimes, them’s the breaks.

Not since Baroness Scott and the Lib Dem’s bureaucrat of choice Mark Valladares changed their facebook statuses to “engaged” has the Lib Dem online world been so charged with romance.

Now Jo Swinson and Duncan Hames used the medium of Twitter to tell the world of their engagement, to cheers of encouragement all round.

Every congratulation and wish for happiness from all your friends at t’Voice.

    A little less convenient geographically (Dunbarton – Chippenham) than the Wintertons !!

    Best of luck to both of them! They seem to be grounded so best wishes 4 the future!

    Now, how many national newspapers are going to put this positive story about the private lives of Liberal Democrat MPs on their front pages?

    Oh, sorry, I forgot. The UK press doesn’t do positive.

    Very sad news. I remember many a lively evening of erudite discussion in Leeds - Michael was a true intellect - and a genuinely warm soul. My condolences to his...

    Fully agree with all of this. I've seen a few MPs' Pride Month posts reference Section 28 abolition and Same-Sex Marriage - we need to start talking about this...
