Here's what the LibDem lady has to say about Charles:
BARONESS TONGE, LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PEER
"If you were looking for someone to play the part of Tarzan, you wouldn't employ a one-legged actor, and if we're looking for someone to lead our party we wouldn't deliberately go for an alcoholic. "
Ouch. The recent furore by LibDem glory seekers has sickened me. The pressures that have been put on him since christmas have been harsh and it is quite clear that those who wish to succeed him as leader are doing their best to manipulate the entire situation.
If I was ever going to consider supporting the party, this has put me right off. Regardless of whether he stays or goes, the LibDems are doing themselves no favours.
