Nicolas Blincoe’s profile on Comment is Free used to describe him as a “volunteer advisor to Nick Clegg’s leadership campaign”. It now reads:
Nicholas Blincoe is an author, critic and screenwriter. He is a former advisor to Nick Clegg MP.

Loading ...I got this message from Richard Allan, Nick Clegg’s campaign manager, today:
Dear James,
A little earlier this afternoon, my attention was drawn to an article by Nicholas Blincoe on the CommentIsFree website. I have not met Nicholas before and he is not a part of the Nick Clegg Campaign Team. I understand that he has been one of a number of people to advise Nick on speeches previously, hence his self-description.
The contents of the article are a personal viewpoint and in no way associated with this campaign. I have therefore contacted Nicholas to request that he makes this clear in a posting on the Guardian site. He has agreed to do this and I hope that a clarification will appear in short order.
All the best,
Richard.
Blincoe himself has now issued a qualification. I’m pleased to see that Team Clegg have treated this with the seriousness it deserved and reacted promptly. Good show.
