Lib Dems: going, going…
Remember when the Liberal Democrats used to be the nation’s third biggest party?
Having done badly in two successive sets of local elections its share of the vote continues to slide.
Last night’s YouGov/Sun poll has topline figures of LAB 43%, Con 32%, UKIP 9% and Lib Dems 8%, from UKPollingReport.

Baroness Tonge: Appearing at the LibDem Spring Conference

Of all the stories about Liberal Democrat MP Mike Hancock that have come out today, I think this is my favourite:
According to Eörsi, Hancock effectively acted as a Kremlin lobbyist, voting with the Russian delegation and even co-authoring pro-Kremlin amendments. Hancock had also failed to declare all of his frequent trips to Russia, Eörsi claimed, [...]
