Imitation etc….
Nick Clegg has made his first major policy speech. In it, he states:
“In seeking to make Britain fairer, we need to stop just asking “how much”, and to start thinking hard about “how”.”
In 2001, I edited a book called A Blue Tomorrow, and I commissioned an article from Kit Malthouse on tax in which he wrote:
“The question for the Conservative Party shouldn’t have been merely ‘How Much?’ but more fundamentally ‘How?’”
Ah, Cleggmeister, you can wear as many red ties as you like, but fundamentally you think like a Tory.

Sorry, but Clegg and major speech should never be used in a single sentence, supra The Guardian’s stylebook.

It may still be early days but there’s been no bounce in the polls for the LibDems since Nick Clegg took over - in fact YouGov actually put them down one per cent on last month.
An inauspicious beginning.
