The Daily Telegraph reports: The Deputy Prime Minister said he was ‘ashamed’ at the lack of women Lib Dem MPs and their absence from the Coalition cabinet. “It is a very serious problem,” he told an audience at Cheltenham Literature Festival. “It is a source of endless shame to me that the Liberal Democrat party

Lib Dem Work and Pensions spokesman Steve Webb was quick to share his thoughts about George Osbourne’s plan to raise the retirement age with Lib Dem Voice readers yesterday. Today he has issued a stinging rebuke of the implications of the Tory scheme for women: Women have been a total afterthought to this announcement. It is simply

The BBC reports: The press watchdog is investigating the Daily Telegraph’s use of undercover reporters to record Lib Dem ministers’ thoughts on the coalition government. It reported comments made by Business Secretary Vince Cable in a meeting with people he thought were constituents. Lib Dem President Tim Farron asked the Press Complaints Commission to investigate.

Michael Gove has reignited talk of a Tory Lib Dem pact by urging people in Hull to vote Lib Dem to keep Labour out at the local elections. Gove’s intervention was not planned but it does reveal how he thinks. Gove’s department is the most coalitionised. Not only is there a Lib Dem minister there in Sarah Teather, tellingly the only Lib Dem minister not to moan to the Telegraph’s ...

Here is a scan of part of page from today's Telegraph (That's page 21, fact fans): Anything strike you as odd?

OK, now the dead tree press, aka "The Daily Telegraph" has published the expenses of all the parties. Labour- Yueeeeech, Tories.. clean moat, Sir? Lib Dem- nice to see you look after your daughter, Mr. George. Now, will the Journalists on the Telegraph please publish their expenses. Oooooh Noooo- we work for a private company... "Power without responsibility, the prerogative of the harlot through ...

Isn't that absolutely typical. The morning I post a long article about Lib Dem Voice with lots of links, and somebody forgets to pay the bill so it gets turned off. I wonder if Mark Pack's "Gearbox" column is going to be late? The "Become Livid" anagram of Lib Dem Voice seems pertinent suddenly.

Haven't had a chance to have a proper look through it yet but was amused by the tagline - "The latest Lib Dem policy for women." I wonder if that means "cutting edge", or more likely in the current climate, simply the "most up to date." Can't say I fancy the job of that web moderator! ...I shouldn't ...

According to the Sky News Blog, three Lib Dem MPs are among the most fanciable of the 2005-2010 Parliament. They are: Lynne Featherstone (1st place overall) Julia Goldsworthy (5th place overall) Nick Clegg (5th place overall) Congratulations (if that’s the right word) to all three of them.
