That LibDem Reshuffle in Full
The LibDems have had a front bench reshuffle. Just in case you missed it. Highlights are...
* Steve Webb to cover energy & climate change * Sarah Teather demoted from business to housing. * Er, that's it, ed...
How did I miss this? Finished work at 5 and ploughed the blogs and news sites for a bit. Came home and surfed the net for a bit with the news on tv. Went to the pub. Just came back, have had the news on for 45 minutes and now I discover the dums have had a reshuffle because it's 4th down on Mr Dales site (3rd down if you ignore the twitter updates). You'd think (hope) they'd give up but it's hardly likely.
The Lib Dems actually have 63 MPs as Iain will well know. (Not 50 odd as James Manning says)
And Clegg has brought back some other people not mentioned in Iain's post, like Tim Farron, Alistair Carmichael and David Heath, all of whom rebelled on the Lisbon Treaty vote back in March and were sacked.
Good to see them back now though.
So a slightly fuller reshuffle than u mention but not that exciting it has to be said!

No offense, but who cares.
Come the next election it will be yellow Taxi time to take the LD cretin's away!
LD LD LD Out Out Out!
Firstly consider that they only have 50-odd MPs.
Then ignore the numerous ex-leaders.
Then ignore the dozen-or-so mental cases such as Opik.
Then ignore their current front bench.
That leaves you with about 2 remaining MPs.
Hardly leaves much scope for change does it?!
However hard Labour try to steal their title, the Lib Dems will always be the joke of British politics.
Cheeky!

Iain, the amount of time you are putting into attacking the Lib Dems is truly a morale lifter.
