I have been known to complain about Lib Dem MPs who seek to gain the votes of farmers by supporting the idea to a cull of badgers. Step forward, for instance, Tim Farron and Nick Clegg . So congratulations to Adrian Sanders , who is quoted in Torquay's Herald Express as saying: "I think they have made the right decision. The idea of culling half the badger population I think is wrong. It's a sledgehammer...

It would seem 15 Liberal Democrat MPs (different news websites are using different figures) rebelled yesterday and defied the Whip on abstaining on the Conservative amendment calling for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Three frontbenchers - Alistair Carmichael, Tim Farron, David Heath all resignedly from their positions.

It could have all been so different........a free vote? The outcome would have been the same. But, frankly it has been a bit of a cockup, however, a cockup that Nick Clegg can and will ride out. Primarily because none of us have all our eggs in the European basket and he has much to say about issues that impact upon our society far more than Europe. And secondly because this has demonstrated the maturity...

Looks like Tim Farron (before, fresh faced) plus two alternative futures. One if he adopts beard and sandals, the other if he goes for the old forked tongue and pock marked modernity. Ghastly prospects both. LoL site feed

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. Many more and the LibDems will be able to hold their weekly so-called Shadow Cabinet meetings in the proverbial telephone box. Isaby tells us that there may well be a raft of junior spokespeople voting for a referendum, but under some...

Tim Farron has a press release on the Liberal Democrat site saying that "the culling of badgers in TB hotspots with 'hard' boundaries would be welcome". Who says? The natural supporters of the Lib Dems these days are not Lakeland farmers but town dwellers who feel rather warm towards badgers. I imagine they would find a cull very unwelcome indeed. For arguments against a cull see The Badger Trust ....
