The LD's share of the vote in polls has gone up nearly 10% since they haven't had a leader. Cable used to be my MP - good bloke, if a bit right-wing for me, although not as bad as Huhne and particularly Clegg.

One thing that's been pointed out in a few areas is that all this happened under Blair, not Brown - it goes back years, and Brown's getting the bucket in the face that should really be aimed at Teflon Tony. Shame it didn't all come out during the last dodgy funding scam, really. Blair and dodgy north-easterners go back years of course, Mandelson, Blair's own constituencies were up that way.

The biggest question for me is why Mr. Abrahams wanted to give so much money to Labour so badly, rather than why they took it (simple: they're skint and thought they could get away with it*). The planning permission suddenly granted for a development of his by a minister obviously has nothing to do with it.

* Osem might enjoy this, from another LibDem the other day: 'what was it about a millionaire property developer that first attracted the interest of Labour Party fundraisers?'.
