Below you can see a video produced by the national party of Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge, Julian Huppert, talking to the deputy prime minister about the phone-hacking scandal.
It is reminiscent of the videos produced by the party last December of former Lib Dem MP Evan Harris talking to Nick Clegg about tuition fees – though this is much shorter. I personally think there is a lot of value in such videos, particularly when it comes to the party communicating with its members.
You can watch the video above, or on YouTube here.

Huppert has a great political career ahead of him. It’s really nice to see these local meetings of Liberals, and I hope Clegg continues to stay in touch with his MPs – one of the best ways of keeping our leadership accountable.
Excellent points from NC, excellent interview from JH. Loved it.
Contrast and compare how publicly, NC can take a strong line on an issue that is important to him. However, the hacking scandal is unlikely to affect his future career whereas any withdrawal from the EU could be catastrophic.

Re: ‘produced by the national party of Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge, ‘: you mean ‘local party’ I think?
I agree that Huppert is a good egg & will go far. He is the only professional scientist in Commons.
