Ed Davey: how the middling have fallen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Lib Dems’ buffoonish leader makes Boris Johnson look like Lord Palmerston. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. Ed Davey is a twat. Everyone knows that. Many still believe the Lib Dem leader has sub-postmasters’ blood on his hands, thanks to his sorry role as minister for postal affairs at the height of the Post Office scandal. Be that as it may, his recent catalogue of woeful adventures in toytown politics is of a much softer hue – and would make a delightful bath-safe

The ‘satirical’ candidate is regime humour at its most tedious. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. As the next by-election to disfigure Britain’s recent political history gears up in Clacton, it looks likely to be contested between a man whom some still regard as the Rebel Alliance and others as the Empire in business dress, and another who actively promotes the idea that he is from outer space. There really is a neck-and-neck race in prospect – but it isn’t the one in Cl
