Don't talk to me about politics for a day or two, ok?

Idiots. The fact that not a single one of the MPs calling for Charles Kennedy's head was willing to stand against him says it all. They wanted him gone - a number of them said they wouldn't continue to serve with Kennedy as leader - but somehow when he actually called a leadership contest none of them wanted to know. Not until he'd also been pushed into saying that he wouldn't take part in it himself.

Not impressed. I suspect whoever gets elected isn't going to last long. And then we're back to the two-party Punch and Judy show for another five years or more.

He said he had, and he certainly seemed fairly sober for an achy who had just been pushed out of his job.

He had had brief periods of sobriety before as I understand it, but had always lapsed again... it's really sad, but I think his colleagues simply felt that they couldn't continue to lie and to cover up for him - and in all fairness, it was arguably unreasonable of him to expect them to do so...

I still say the timing sucks. If you need to do it, you don't do it when he's dry. Were they hoping to bury it under Sharon?

Anyway, they've shown they are as sleazy as the others.
