I have been reading LabourList to find this blog post by Nick Clegg and clearly I am amused and I am a little worried about the comments. Can Nick Clegg or anyone else please explain why the leader of the Lib Dems is writing on a Labour blog? Fair enough me writing on LabourList, Stephen Tall from LDV writing for LabourList even if a back bench Lib Dem MP did it but why...

There has been a lot of discussion about why the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg posted his piece on gay rights on LabourList rather than say Lib Dem Voice. My good friend Caron says that we wouldn't allow an opposition politician house room on any Lib Dem election leaflet, and quite right too. But then doesn't LDV allow guest posts from politicians and commentators from different hues. Jennie...

The Lib Dem leader has given me cause to return to Labour List for the first time since the early days of whatshisface. On Pride Saturday for the Sassenach gay fraternity he is speaking about gay rights and how far we have come since his University day when Thatcher brought in Section 28. However, he notes: 'however, the inequalities that persist are frustrating. It is ludicrous, for example, that...

... Dems good name by suggesting they didn't support gay marriage, I was pleased to be proven wrong by Nick Clegg's assertion on Labour List that civil partnerships are not fair and that until LGBT people can marry each other we are not equal. Nick Clegg proves me wrong once again, and I appreciate it!! This blogger works for nothing but the joy of writing but always appreciates...

• Mr. Nick Clegg (Sheffield, Hallam) (LD): ' . . THAT is why we should admit that we neither need nor can afford to replace Trident.

Sometimes I almost feel sorry for Nick Clegg. Week after week in the Commons Chamber he has to pretend not to notice or care when MPs ostentatiously walk out as soon as he starts talking or jeer or heckle or yawn. Watching can sometimes be excruciating, like observing an amateur comic dying on stage. But then he spoils it by being pompous in a self-important sixth form way, and my sympathy...

By Nick Clegg MP The fight against Section 28 helped define my generation. It created stark dividing lines. Stopping councils from distributing material showing gay relationships in a positive light was flagrantly homophobic. There were those of us who knew that. And there were those people who bought into the...
