The proof that Clegg’s taxpayer-funded aide is Lib Dem election strategist

Yesterday LabourList reported the accusations that Nick Clegg was paying his aide, Ryan Coetzee, £110,000 of taxpayers’ money to be a Lib Dem election strategist, rather than a Government aide.

Today we can show you powerpoint slides, prepared by Coetzee, that prove he is doing partisan work for the Liberal Democrats. The slides, bearing the Lib Dem logo, show polling figures for the public’s feelings about the Coalition, Clegg and whether people would consider voting Lib Dem. Damningly, one slide explicitly refers to polling carried out by the party themselves in constituencies with Lib Dem MPs, making it clear that Coetzee is involved in election strategy.

Why is Nick Clegg using public money to plan out the Lib Dem 2015 election campaign?
