What a weasel that guy turned out to be

Led his party (Liberal Democrats) to a stunning election result in 2010 and joined a coalition with the Tories. Proceeded to become their human shield, covering for their austerity and shredding of the welfare state. Then fucked off to Facebook when the electorate punished his party in 2015.

Don't forget the tuition fees. The reason why a whole generation will never vote Lib Dem again.

Very true.

Wait, I came here to make a joke that he had the same name as the former Lib Dem leader.... it actually is him?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

It is indeed

I still dunno how to make sense of the Lib Dem’s manifesto was further left than labour’s in the last General Election.

Well they wouldn't delete it when it was tracking everything and everyone they knew 24/7, they wouldn't delete it when they jumped on the trump train in 2016, and they wouldn't delete it when they kept Covid rolling in 2020, so why delete it now? Or Xitter? Embrace the evil! Lick it!
