Labour and the Tories leave the door open for the Lib Dems

By Paul Halsall

Andrew MacKay’s appearance on BBC News at 11:45am this morning was an utter disaster. Perhaps worse than any other MP’s effort to apologise.

While I don’t think this will help Labour, if the Lib Dems continue to come out as relatively clean as they have done so far, they could really benefit.

I know if I were a Lib Dem ad maker I would just play videos of Labour and Tory MPs.

On the whole, I think, as one might expect, the really bad Tory ones look like already very rich people taking the piss; while Labour ones look like actions by people who have taken all that talk of aspiration too seriously.
