Clegg gambled (that they would have got PR in) and lost; certainly once the referendum didn't go his way he should have either walked away or blocked everything Cameron tried to do that wasn't in his direct interest.

Welcome back Wayne
Why does he believe that ? What possible reason is there for giving someone on £99,000 an additional £200 ? I can't even believe that a 'soak the rich' Labour person would take such a position......it just shows that someone who is incapable of accepting that any kind of benefit should be withdrawn or amended, even one as obvious in his own particular case, is incapable of ever being Chancellor........but because we all know he never will be then he can say whatever he wants....

Well done for realizing that he isn't being hypocritical by accepting something that he is proposing everyone else eligible should continue to get, but you are still making no sense.
For a start - if you are taking the position that its outrageous that he should claim £200 when he is "Labour rich", I am perplexed why you don't have seem to have a problem with him claiming* his £8,000 a year state pension when he is in a full time job.
* though the Mail didn't actually say he claimed it, just that he is eligible to (and they didn't say it was in his tax return so he may not claim it)

Whatever pension he has he has earned it. His £200 is a freebie that he neither earned nor requires. If he is against any form of means testing and that benefits should be universal and for everyone irrespective of income, fine, say so, be honest....

Utter Cad.
Turns out she worked at the News of the World when they were still hacking the phones of dead children.
lollol He seems to be growing into his role. Showing a lot more ease and confidence. In part I think this is to do with the media having to give him more air time due to the election.

I'm sure he's a blue aswell
I'm a liberal in the traditional sense of the word, so even the Lib Dems aren't a natural home. Tim Farron isn't a particularly inspiring leader, and I do wonder if there isn't a degree of resignation to Brexit among the electorate. Given that this election was sparked by Brexit and the next parliament will be dominated by Brexit, the debates to date have been noticeable by the absence of Brexit. The Tories have been very non-committal in their own position, whilst Labour have scarcely done any better. Can we really say we know more about the Brexit positions of the main parties now than we did a month ago?
For far too long the Tories have not been held to account by the media. They are generally getting a free pass at the moment for not having costed their manifesto but ironically have costed Labour's to the penny. You couldn't make up such a weak biased media as that exists in the UK. Made the more bizarre because they shout and stamp their feet and tell the world that their jobs is to hold the executive to account.
However, Corbyn is going to get all sorts of lying crap thrown at him hoping some sticks.

Very true.
The most difficult question the media has asked Theresa May was what her favourite colour is. Granted, that's because she's been dodging questions left right and centre, just as she has the general public, but the media aren't doing themselves any favours by not pointing that out.
@Bruce Wayne do you not think it's a tad racist not to include either Plaid Cymru or the SNP in the above poll ?
That last sentence, an ideologically consistent an honourable man, such a rarity in British politics, no wonder he is so villified by small minded viscious self serving tories
Did the best I could. This bed sheet over my head doesn't help with typing.
