My photo here shows Nick Clegg arriving at the conference in Glasgow at noon today. He chats briefly with the four Presidential candidates, from left to right: Sal Brinton, Linda Jack, Liz Lynne and Daisy Cooper. The four candidates were hot foot from the first Presidential hustings of the conference, which was packed.

Nice picture of Linda, Daisy, Sal and Lynne. Who’s the guy again?
Looks like he’s arrived for a funeral. Hopefully the watching security man will send him on his way.
It is the leader of the Party, who is going to deliver a barnstorming speech, that will bring the whole Party together – so that we can move forward to the GE united in a single cause.
The question is, what have one of the ladies said that him seems to have him stuck for an answer?
I can’t think of any good reason why you’ve let this man continue as leader. What will he be doing this time next year? Anyone care to hazard a guess? I’m fairly sure he won’t be picking up the pieces.
