So Ming Campbell says we should all use energy efficient lightbulbs. Quite right. How many does he have in his house? Er, none. Another politician being accused of don't do as I do, do as I say. Click HERE for more. It's not the lightbulb that needs changing, it's the leader.
PS Go on Mark Senior, defend your leader!
PPS And before anyone asks, about 80% of the lightbulbs in my house are energy efficient. So there!

20 quid to the person who catches Dave dashing around buying energy saving lightbulbs before someone asks him.
I bet Dave doesn't do lightbulbs - rather, boxes of organic glow worms, placed strategically about the house...
And I reckon DD doesn't have lightbulbs either - if he wants to see, he just lights his farts....
My conscience is clear, I didn't vote for Grandpa Werthers.
I have to say that this is real amateur hour stuff, if you're going on radio to tell everyone to use efficient bulbs you ensure you fitted yours a week or so before.
That no-one in Cowley Street seems to know that is pretty worrying.
Lightbulbs would be totally unneccessary if only we could see in the dark.
Therefore, we are going to propose that instead of buying lightbulbs, every citizen is issued with a pair of infra-red night vision goggles with the Lib Dem logo emblazoned above each lens.
We think this sits well with our other policies like fighting for Iain Huntley to have the right to vote and for go-carting as a reward for seriel yobbish behaviour. It shows we have vision.
This policy will negate the crisis facing Ming with regard to changing the 500 lightbulbs in his mansion as his ladder is not tall enough and will out-green David Cameron.
The Conservative's new oak tree logo simply will not compete with our new logo showing a lightbulb with a cross on it. It will be the first instructional party logo.
We think this policy will be popular among our more radical sandal-wearing supporters.
Resettlement plans are in place to accommodate workers from the light bulb manufacturing and supply sector. Workers will be secretry retrained to work in night goggle factories, putting Britain at the forefront of this technology.
The press conference will be held in total darkness and all journalists will be fitted with a pair of our night vision goggles by one of our more attractive female MPs.
Our only concern is how viewers at home will see us on TV when we launch the product.
We propose a lightbulb amnesty until everyone in Britain is fitted with the night vision devices.
Please await your full policy briefing pack and your goggles.

Does this mean we may also have to have a change at DPM?
Going off at a bit of a tangent, surely Ming the Useless sold his car, rather than putting it beyond use, so for all we know it might be getting far more use than before

Your policies are very sound and will appeal to all. I feel however that the night vision goggles may be too expensive for the Treasury. Would you consider supplying those little headlights with LEDs in that run off two AAA batteries? The lens of the light could have the Lib Dem logo on it and that would cast a shadow of the same shape. Just like when the Police Commissioner of Gotham City shines the Bat Signal for help from the hero.
Mmmm, then again Costco sell wind up LED torches, £10 for two and no batteries, greener as well!
Grandpa Sir Ming can make these mistakes because nodoby, except political hacks and bloggers, will notice. There are slightly more pressing news items!
