Nick C Legg - My Fake Diary

Sunday, 2 September 2012

Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown has strongly defended my leadership, saying I had "succeeded" and attacks on him were unjustified.

Responding to calls for me to go, from a Lib Dem peer, he said there were always "party dissidents, minor or not" able to get a headline. Adding I had taken the party into government and shown "grace under fire" in difficult times.

There would be repercussions if the party quit the coalition, he added.

That's nice...
