I’m definitely going to stand for president of the Liberal Democrats. It’s the one job I’ve always wanted.” A paragon of modesty, of his chances he says: “I’ve got to be regarded as the odds-on favourite.

A Tacky Hound A series Gordon Brown supporters took to the airwaves today to criticise Charles Clarke for his comments about the prime minister. Ed Balls, the children's secretary, said Clarke's comments were unoriginal and irrelevant to the debate about the party's future. "It's not the first time Charles has made those kind of comments. I think it's Charles being Charles," said Balls,...
