Unbelievable, three months in the job and he manages to implement a more successful shadow cabinet decapitation strategy than we carried out in 2005. Only problem is, its our bl**dy shadow cabinet he has managed to decimate!

He pledged in his leadership campaign to take the Liberal Democrats "out of our comfort zone" and from where I am sitting at least that's one election promise he appears to have kept.
