Quote of the day

From the House of Commons Hansard, Alistair Carmichael MP on the botched elections:
"The role of the Secretary of State’s predecessor, the right hon. Member for Paisley and Renfrewshire, South (Mr. Alexander), requires close examination. Essentially, the Secretary of State has come to the House today to say that a wee boy done it and ran away, which really is not good enough."

And, thus, with a single bound (or perhaps a sneaky sidestep), wee Dougie was scot-free. Now he plays with the big boys of international development, telling other nations how to organise democracies.
