A lot of new consultancies out there.
3. The Sun names some of the new Lib Dem peers by Jonathan Calder on Liberal England.
And they didn’t do as well as our Paul Walter.

Neil is not impressed by the idea.
5. Those new Liberal Democrat peers in full by Jonathan Calder on Liberal England.
Jonathan has the list.
