Charlie

[liadnan]

What's the rule about saying you won't resign three times? Ho hum. I can't see him making it through this one, which personally I think is a shame. And after all, Churchill was a notoriously heavy drinker, and Eden was a speed freak, which I always thought went some way to explaining Suez. Actually, scratch Eden, I don't think Charlie really wants to emulate arguably the worst prime minister of the last century.

Still, it does seem to me that both Kennedy and those briefing against him (incidentally, the only one of those said to have signed the letter that raises more than a flicker of recognition is Vince Cable, though I smell Simon Hughes at the bottom of it all) have pretty much thrown a spanner in the LibDem machine, at the worst possible moment for them, just as the Tories finally seem to be staggering in the direction of credibility once more.

Incidentally, Newsnight seems, on my increasingly infrequent visits, to be ever more like The Day Today. "Well Nick, what does this mean for the Liberal Democrats." "It's difficult to say Jeremy."

And Sharon clings on to life, just. I find it difficult to say anything pleasant about him.

... personal responsibility...

I think a sizeable proportion of the US didn't really care if Clinton lied about a woman, but the Republicans mobilised the moral outrage vote, and that was that :-/

I've never lost trust in a political figure for what he does in his personal life (Clinton? Schmuck, sure, but what a politician), but so many have thrown my trust away through their politics, and they're never getting it back.
