Simon Hughes, Lib Dem Deputy Leader and all round Protector of the Liberal Democratic cause, has given up trying to differentiate between Tory and Lib Dem policies and is now calling for a veto on Coalition policies for Liberal Democrat MPs. 

In an interview with the Beeb, Hughes, upset that Clegg’s fort-holding is hogging the media limelight, said that Lib Dem MPs should be able to say, “No, we can’t go down this road” (or similar worthless phrase) to halt proceedings. Sounding quite a lot like the stroppy six-year-old threatening to run away from home, Hughes suggested that a Lib Dem coalition with Labour was very much still “on the agenda” for 2015, that is if Labour will have them.
