According to the Independent, the LibDems are pouring money into North Wiltshire, as a top possibility for a seat gain at the next election (the Tory MP there had an affair while his wife had cancer.)
The internal paper quoted also mentions these seats as needing to be prioritised: St Albans, Wells, Mid Sussex and Broadland.
Ed Davey also tells Ming and the front bench that "hyperactivity is needed".

The seat is "Broadland", no "s". After your comment yesterday about people adding "s" on to your name, I expected you to lead by example ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy memory of the nearly total failure of the "decapitation" strategy are still fresh, sadly. For what its worth(not much!), my belief is that it would be better to target Labour held seats in the Midlands and the North (and Scotland), rather than pouring money and resources down the drain into seats the Tories are bound to hang on to.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nich - I have corrected that, which was actually copied from the Independent who were quoting Lord Rennard!
ReplyDeleteSince dear Ming admits today that you were in cahoots with Labour in the North last time, were you also in cahoots with the Tories in the South, were the other two in cahoots with each other in the West Country, will these arrangements continue (I think we all know the answer to that one!), and is there anyone left who does not believe that Britain is now a one-party state?
ReplyDeleteNo. Could you please let me have a link to where these claims are reported? I am unable to find trace of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's the lead story on Norfolk Blogger, for a start.
ReplyDeleteAnd is that "No" as in "No, there is no one left who does not believe that Britain is now a one-party state"?
David, I was at the interview referred to by the Norfolk Blogger. I don't remember any such reference but help is at hand, I have a full audio recording of the interview and I will pull out the exact quote later.
ReplyDeleteThe "No" was to both questions. In the second instance, I don't believe Britain is a one party state so that makes it as a "no".
