  • @tpholvey DPM walks into the room and told to leave because we’re still doing the raffle. Only the #LibDems
  • @jpshaddock All you young whippersnappers going on about GCSEs are making me feel old. Back in my day we had to work 36 hour shifts down t’pit for a B.
  • @willie_rennie Turned up to the Perth Lib Dem fund-raiser at Italian Corner in Perth with an empty wallet. Disapproving looks.
