Twice in one day, this is getting to be a habit. And I hate the headline for this one even more than the last one!

We’ve had the ‘safe pair of hands’. What must follow Ming is a leader bold enough to redefine what the Liberal Democrats stand for.

My take on the Ides of Ming…

Gordon Brown last week perfectly demonstrated the dangers of letting tactical considerations dominate policy. The Liberal Democrats have been doing the same thing for years, largely out of the media glare. The truth is it has served us well, leading us to triple our MPs in 15 years. But with both Labour and the Conservatives now resurgent, its limitations are all too clear to see. I can’t help but suspect that the same obsession with tactics, and dismissal of strategy, is what is largely behind this scapegoating of Ming.

I wish they’d used my headline though: Death by Focus Leaflet.
