Ming's resignation letter
Fraser Nelson 7:56pm
At last, a statement from Sir Menzies..."It has become clear that following the prime minister's decision not to hold an election, questions about the leadership are getting in the way of further progress by the party. Accordingly, I now submit my resignation as leader with immediate effect".
Hilarious. Has all the authenticity of a statement drafted for a deposed African ruler. I suspect they had to sedate Elspeth, Ming's formidable wife, before she let him sign it. So the LibDems perhaps do have a bit to learn about coups after all.
Brown will want Clegg to win - posh enough to repel left wing voters and suck support from Tories.

October 16th, 2007 11:29amThere is now (indeed, there has long been) a gap in the market for a party which genuinely represents the views of people in places like the North of Scotland, the South of Scotland, Mid-Wales, the West Country, and such pockets elsewhere as Berwick, and North Norfolk. The Eurofederalist, anti-family, pro-crime and pro-drugs Lib Dems were never that party, any more than the Eurofederalist, anti-family, pro-crime and pro-drugs Cameroons (including the Blairobite insurrectionists within New Labour) could ever be that party. And isn't it grand how the two frontrunners to succeed Ming both went to the same public school?
