It’s obviously a very busy news day, what with the country re-entering recession and the media enjoying talking about itself over Leveson. But we wouldn’t want you to miss out on the latest from Lembit Opik, who has visited Clegg’s city – and called for him to resign.
The Sheffield Star reports Opik as saying:
“The failing wasn’t the decision to go into coalition. It has been the performance of the Liberal Democrats in coalition. A number of things have gone wrong because they made the wrong calls.”
“If the [local election] results are very bad he should set a very short timescale and let the party replace him by the end of the year…I don’t dislike Nick Clegg, but business is business.”
