Here’s the new Lib Dem party president Tim Farron side-by-side with Lib Dem leader and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg. What do you think they might be saying to, or thinking about, each other?
The winner of our most recent caption competition, the “Tim Farron goes out on a wing” edition – according to The Voice’s judging panel of one – was this one by Matt Downey.

Nick to Tim – Sorry to have to reject your draft for the second edition of the Orange Book.
Tim ” Nick any help with this one. 5 down, 7 letters …”
Tim – ‘These latest polling figures look really bad Nick’
Clegg – ‘Don’t bother me with that real world stuff Tim. Life’s so much better in la la land.’
Tim – Watch what you say Nick, the one on your right is an undercover reporter with a microphone hidden in her boot.
Ed Davey (whispering from second row): “I hear the pantomime in Woking is very good this year.”
“Shh, Tim’s learning his lines. They give him new ones for every performance.”
New study launched into link between leg-crossing and political leaning.
Nick to Tim: ‘I think that is Monica Lewinski sitting next to me. Do you fancy my chances?’
Man between Nick and Tim’s shoulders, ‘I wonder if this neck position will maximise my space on the photo?’
Clegg thinks wistfully ‘I remember a time when lovely young ladies like these, used to look at me and smile, applaud and agree with me too.’
Tim ‘Looking at this Lib Dem Xmas panto cast list Nick, I’m not so sure.
Isn’t it a bit unfair to always put poor Danny as the back end of the horse ?’
Woman In Leather Boots to Clegg: “Does your tie need ironing really badly, or are you just pleased to see me?”
Woman in leather boots: “What a laugh! Me and my mate, we sit down either side of these Lib Dem hot shots, and we just, like, casually mention that we work for the Telegraph, as this photographer guy rolls up. So there’s Clegg staring furiously at an empty stage, while Farron pretends to be reading the safety instructions!”
David wins!
“Tim puts his final touches to Nick’s speech.”
So… I sign this, and I can vote against Tuition Fees, right?
“Sorry Nick, there is nothing saying terms and conditions apply, we should have voted against”
Tim (amazed): “Surely we’re not ditchingall these policies?!”
‘You’re to the right of me Nick’
‘And you’re to the left of me Tim’
‘What about Jo Swinson?’
‘Well, Jo, she’s from Scotland…’
NIck: “Only another 5 years of this boring democracy nonsense and then I can zoom off to Brussels to a cushy number as EU commissioner”. Tim: “Leaving me stuck with a party at 8% in the polls getting the blame for all the cutbacks, you two-faced SOB!”
Tim- “No Nick, I am not signing any more pledges without reading the small print”
Nick: I’ll keep my eyes on the stars while you watch the grass roots.
Thanks, I’m actually so proud now.
Darth Nick Clegvader talking to Padawan Tim Skyfarron
“I’m on the side of the light really,Tim. (breathing noise) I’m getting a lot of progressive policies implemented in the empire, look at the current level of social mobility regardless of tuition fees. (breathing noise)
Tim to Nick
“To be forgiven by the people, you must destroy Emperor Cameron. Just remember not to take of your mask, for it will reveal to the people that you are still the same you that was in the great debate battles of the clone labservative party wars where we won through. You must not do that until the absolute final moment an then the election will be ours”
To hell with the caption… I just want to know who the woman with the leather boots is.
