LibDems in Election Dirty Tricks Shocker

After Tory cuts gaffes and Labour's surreptitious audio recordings, the LibDems now stand accused of dirty tricks.

Rumours abound that dire poet and MP for Shrewsbury & Atcham Paul Marsden (retiring due to ill health) has applied to rejoin the Labour Party - having defected from Labour to the LibDems less than four years ago.

This can only be a devious and calculated move by the LibDems to undermine Labour's election chances by associating the party with one of the country's most reviled and unattractive politicians.

Thanks to a new friend for the tip.


To rat out on your party once is something, but to re-rat is really special.

Anyway this reminds me that the Returning Officers are still short a LibDem connected blogger to balance up our election coverage. We had one potential blogger, but he was a candidate in a winnable seat so decided either not to risk it or to devote the time to his campaign. Contact us if you are interested. Sense of humour essential.
