Britain has a Lib Dem-sized hole in its heart: watch the autumn statement
Unfettered Osbornomics is what we'll get on 25 November. If we had a financially literate opposition rather than Corbyn's Labour, things might be different There were two oppositions in the last parliament: Labour and the Liberal Democrats. And, this week more than ever, it is worth saying that only the latter made any difference to the real lives of real people. Why? Because they were in government. But thanks to their brutal contraction and the subsequent departure of Don Corbyn de la Mancha for his knight-errant's tour of windmills, we now have no effective opposition at all (unless you count the House of Lords). And this is about to matter in lots of painful ways to millions of people when the chancellor announces what cuts he plans to make in the spending review in his autumn statement on Wednesday.

At last, the sorry Lord Rennard chapter is over for the limping Lib Dems (and me)
My name is Bridget Harris and I am a recovering Liberal Democrat. I used to work as a political advisor for the Lib Dems and latterly to Nick Clegg. I worked hard, I put up with a lot of rubbish, I believed in 'the sake of the party'. I was loyal - dedicated, discrete. Everything a backroom advisor is supposed to be. Nowadays, I just call myself a liberal.
