Welcome to Bank Holiday Catchup – reading Lib Dem Voice so you don’t have to.
A quieter week than many, but we still had time for all the usual, and much much more. Guest contributors included fast-becoming-regular Darrell Goodliffe marking the anniversary of the war in Iraq; Linda Jack talked to us about taxes; Martin Land looked at the polls and Bernard Aris gave a welcome perspective on the Gurkha medal campaign.
All your regular contributors were represented too: Stephen brought us Obama; Richard brought us Paddick; Alix suggested a Liberal rapid response unit to tackle the gathering forces of illiberalism; I brought you important Twitter news. And Mark crunched the numbers on e-parliamentarians, kept us posted on by-elections, and brought us Vince again.
Comments were high again this week, as Laurence Boyce took a controversial stance in the thread on a child DNA database and er, Laurence Boyce continued to take a controversial stance on faith schools.
We also talked a fair bit about voting fraud, the embryo bill, and Cameron’s brush with the law.
Enjoy your bank holiday!
