Clegg: the 'grimace' or 'cry' options
Here's something that risks getting lost simply because it's a north of the border issue, but deserves a wider audience.
Tucked away in today's Scots papers is a quote from the Lib Dems leader in Scotland on Nick Clegg's infamous New Statesman interview.
The wonderfully named Tavish Scott said: "Nick Clegg doesn't make me cry - grimace occasionally, but not cry."
Yes, you read that correctly: the leader of the Lib Dems in Scotland is saying his own UK leader makes him grimace now and then.
Maybe this is the new Lib Dem equivalent of "shag, marry or cliff": "cry", "grimace" or....? I'll let you fill in the other option.
With a recent poll putting the Lib Dems in 5th place in Scotland (behind the Greens), it's perhaps no wonder that Scott has a rather dry view of the DPM.
It's also perhaps why the Scottish Lib Dems have chosen to put Charlie Kennedy on their leaflets rather than the Cleggster...
UPDATE: Labour have been quick off the mark after this blog. MP Clive Betts (a fellow Sheffield MP but that's as far as their links go) says: "Clegg makes the leader of the Scottish Lib Dems grimace - as the man who embodies their broken promises, he's becoming more and more toxic to his own Party."
