Here’s Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg enjoying a friendly conversation with one of his predecessors, Charles Kennedy, during the general election campaign – what do you think they might be saying to each other, or thinking about each other?
The winner of our most recent caption competition, the “Paddy swings to the left” edition – according to The Voice’s judging panel of one – was this one by Huw Dawson.

“ha ha cleggster – had ya worried for a mo”!
Have I got news for you …!
If you go into coalition with the bastard tories then I’m joining Labour!
“I it’s tru’ cleggy, I had a meetin with brother Ed. I thought it only decent and he had some of them really nice, ‘nice’ biscuits, yu know the ones I like. But that’s all he talked about in his smarmy little voice, and how I wouldna get such progressive biscuits from the Tories – just broken ones. I tell yer he’s got a screw lose as that laddo. Anyway, I said to him, I don’t like cuts but we’ve got to make some or we’re frankly buggered if interest rate go thro the roof – most people are hangin’ in there because rates are low now. Cleggy, I have ta tell yer, Ed just didna understand. He kept sayin ‘why’s that then, why’s that then, why’s that then!”
@ rob
lol yours is the best!
If I don’t get a government post then I’m going to poke your eye out.
“I’m going to go sit over there by the emergency exit, just in case.”
“Only an idiot would even contemplating going into a coalition with the Tories. Imagine, it would split the party, we would fall in the polls and we would have defections. Now tell me again how your poster campaign is going against those Tory VAT rises.”
Doesn’t look quite so cordial in this shot from a few moments before/after!

“Did you like the little joke I played on Labour? Of course I was never going to join them; especially after they invaded Iraq!”
“Ted will be back in a minute Father Jack”
“For the first time in my life I abstained, and look where it got me”
“So, I would rather be a ginger than a………………”
“Look , I will say it one more time. When Swift suggested we eat the poor he didn’t mean it literally. Jings, what did they teach you at that expensive private school”
“Look into my eyes, look into my eyes. At the count of 3 you will sound and act like a Tory”
“Now listen up, young Nick. Be careful with those Tories!”
“The trouble with you young people is that you have never had a life outside politics”. Oh wait …….
Yes, laddie, I know you’re not the flight attendant. But I’m still going to need that large Scotch.
Oh and I forgot to tell you never slag your colleagues off on a plane
Nick, you’re on a plane. Remember? And this time, you’ve got Osborne sat in the seat right behind you, just take a look! So why can’t you ever learn to keep your mouth shut? All that stuff you just told me, about being prepared to do anything at all to be Deputy Prime Minister. He’s heard you, and he’ll take you up on it, you just mark my words!
“Nick, before I forget, I signed up a new member today. I think his name is Ed Miliband. Looks familiar, but I just can’t place him….”
`Nick,I told you that I was going to sit on the left and you on the right, if it gets rough on this on this `Coalition Government’ flight path’.
“I’ll be carried out of the bar feet first with my Lib Dem membership card in my pocket”
Now, now, Nick! You know you’re supposed to be in charge of this crate! I’m getting off if you don’t get yesell into the driving seat right now.
I see my contribution has been censored. Are we no longer free to disagree with Nick, then?
