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 far better use of Twitter than that executed ~*groan*~ by Utah attorney generals.
Kehaar – amen to that! (not that that’s difficult…)
There are hearts breaking wide open across the country.
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!
Wonderful news. I am sure I am not the only one to wish Jo and Duncan all the happiness in the world.
The presence of such a hardworking and impressive couple in the party bodes well for its 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.
Best wishes to Jo and Duncan!
