Weekly Catchup 31 March – 6th April

By | Mon 7th April 2008 - 8:43 am

Weekly Catchup is your guide to what was hot on Lib Dem Voice last week.

Twitter news first: we heard that Brian Paddick was holding an interview by Twitter, and that Lynne Featherstone could have sent the first tweet from the chamber of the House of Commons. An appeal for poster sites also seemed to work well.

We celebrated April Fools Day twice with a Boyce special and news of info found on photocopier.

Opposition news: the Tories selection process for their Euro candidates stank and they’re not doing as well online as they like to think; and we were all amazed to discover that Labour MPs didn’t like the Labour budget or that a Labour Minister didn’t like the Labour booze tax laws.

The other big stories were that Clegg interview, covered here and here; and that PMQ’s gaffe-cum-brilliant strategy which we covered here after being prompted by Iain Dale and here the morning after.

The major sources of debate amongst our readers Pulpit Politics, again, and our current poll on the embryology bill. At this stage, I can’t guarantee our combatants are adding greatly to the sum of human knowledge.

Finally, it’s not too late tell us what you think about Conference policy debate.

Join us next Monday for the next instalment of Catchup.
