Am writing this in Aberystwyth on a fabulous sunny day so don't have access to my picture file. But was intrigued to read in The Times today that Clegg is suggesting his MPs should have an independent 'policy spokesman' role to signify they are a separate party. Not surprising given the danger their 57 MPs might go the same way as the National Liberals in 1931, swallowed up in coalition with the Tories. Some Tories, apparently have objected to this though I can't think why, unless they have already assumed Clegg's troops have contracted their irrevocable loyalty to Dave's project. Expect more of this after the news of dire cuts breaks with the Emergency Budget. Now to soak up a bit more Welsh sun.
