Lord Bonkers writes exclusively for Liberal England: Isn't this new Electric Youtube clever? Terribly Clever? I wonder who thought of it? Anyway, while I am proud to see that young Clegg is Doing His Bit, I can't help thinking that he is missing a trick. It happens that I had the pleasure of dining chez Clegg over the summer and was charmed by his three young sons. So much energy! It...
NickClegg, talking about the recent ‘class war’, got it totally wrong in saying that the Conservatives background didn’t matter but it was their ‘values’. Clegg’s head is, frankly, buried in the sand if he does not see the two things as connected. Cause and effect become artificially separated into two hermetically sealed bubbles in the Clegg...
After the short-lived candidacy of Daniel Gage, Nicola Bates has now been selected to contest Sheffield Hallam, the seat of Lib Dem leader, NickClegg. Nicola is a 29-year old PR consultant, specialising in Government Relations, who was educated at...

You have the chance to ask ‘any questions’ in this open invitation forum. At Nick Meets… Bath, Nick is keen to discuss his plans to rebuild the economy and fix our [...]...
Once again we see the Conservative leader David Cameron try to muscle in on ground taken by NickClegg. The Conservatives have announced today that they will double the tour allowance to troops returning from Afghanistan, from £2,400. This coming after months of campaigning by NickClegg and the Liberal Democrats on costed plans to increase the overall pay for our...
Here's the YouTube video I recorded of Lib Dem leader NickClegg MP speaking at The Wave climate change march in London this morning. It's eight minutes, but well worth it. I'm pleased to report that as far as I could tell Nick was the only party leader there, and I didn't spot a single Conservative at all. So much for 'Vote Blue, Go Green'!
We are moving into a critical period for the environment; next week Copenhagen hosts a major climate change summit and the Liberal Democrats are trying to make difference in the run up to the summit.I have just received an important email from the Leader of the Liberal Democrats, NickClegg call on our support – [...]
And on ClimateGate rumbles.In case you've missed anything, here's a brief recap.A couple of weeks ago, a swathe of emails - accepted as genuine - were leaked from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia.These emails have shocked the globe as they appear to suggest that the data behind man-made global warming arguments has been subjected to manipulation. In respect of the last
Gordon Brown has been accused of “muzzling” the Iraq inquiry after refusing to change the rules that allow Government departments to keep important documents from the public. Concerns over the agreement were raised by the Liberal Democrat leader, NickClegg, at Prime Minister’s Questions last week, but in a letter written to Mr Clegg, Mr Brown [...]
Yeah I know I can hear the Nats saying Nick, don't you mean Tavish. I can hear certain Labourites going blah about time. I can also sense certain Lib Dems are working out how to do me in. But bear with me and let me tell you why? Nick has just sent an email to all the Lib Dem supporters asking "What are you doing tomorrow?". Well I have a very good answer, do you? He then goes...
• [Dec 02] Mr. NickClegg: ' . . GIVEN Karzai's previous record and that two of his vice-presidents are ex-warlords, does the Prime Minister not think that it would be better to have a strategy of working around President Karzai and relying on local and regional political leadership instead?'
Douglas Murray, writing in Standpoint , is quite right to highlight the cowardice and acceptance of extremism, in the form of Baroness Jenny Tonge, shown by NickClegg. The whole thing is worth reading, but this bit in particular: In his defence, he explains that he is "half-Dutch, quarter Russian, quarter British" and "married to a Spaniard". Perhaps this apparently...
True to their nature, local Lib Dems in Bath & North East Somerset are now under fire for asking for ID to a public meeting with NickClegg, three months after criticising David Cameron and local Tories for exactly that. Why is Clegg visiting a fairly safe seat? Is he chasing after Cameron? Is he scared [...]
