What’s Norman Lamb up to?

The BBC Politics Show East today profiled Norman Lamb and his new role at the heart of government. As Norman says, “This is all extraordinary. We’re conditioned to being on the outside, looking in.”

It gives an insight into how the party is adapting to government, what Norman thinks the big challenges are in his role as Chief Parliamentary and Political Advisor to Nick Clegg and, er…, has a short clip of me talking.

The piece is available on the iPlayer until just after noon on Sunday 25th July.

Very good interview, emphasising that Liberal Democrats have previously been outside looking in, not inside making tough and unpopular decisions. I saw a TV debate involving Norman Lamb as Health spokesman during the general election, which quite impressed me, as he seemed very much on top of his brief. I’m sure he is invaluable as Nick Clegg’s chief advisor.
