Am I jinxed? It's been bright sunshine for six days now, and what happens as soon as I go out to College Green to do an interview with LibDem MP David Heath? It starts raining.

As some of you know, I fully support the Campaign...

And secondly because this has demonstrated the maturity...

Jonathan Isaby on Three Line Whip has a very informative post on likely LibDem resignations, who are said to include Alastair Carmichael, David Heath and Tim Farron.
