None of them scored a knockout blow, although I was pleased to see that Huhne has started reference Ming’s U-turn over Iraq. Huhne stickers appeared to be shifting well after the event.

Secondly, the old Liberal Party were comparable to Jehovah's Witnesses! It is a testament to how the party has matured over the past 15 years that this is no longer the case. Thirdly, Ming has too many "over excited spokesmen" saying "silly" things - it has become a daily routine. Don't you think it is incumbant on someone who expects to LEAD a political party to get his own house in order first? This is a deadly serious question of leadership.

I was sure I remembered Ming calling for a timetable for withdrawal last year! Thank you for bringing together the detail on this one - it certainly looks like a strange change of position.
