homophobic overtone there), and Danny Alexander reminds anti-persecution supremo Harriet Harman of a ginger rodent. Alexander deigned to respond, saying: ‘I am proud to be ginger and rodents
do valuable work cleaning up the mess others lead behind. Red Squirrel deserves to survive, unlike Labour.’
Aside from being witless, the problem with Labour’s assault on senior Lib Dem politicians is that each one makes a future Lib-Lab pact ever more unlikely. After all, there aren’t so many Lib Dems to insult.
