I was pleased to see this in the Guardian today:
The first Liberal Democrat group openly opposed to the coalition is to be launched at the party's spring conference in Gateshead next month with a warning that the coalition has been a political disaster for the party, as well as a denial of its radical roots.
Launching a website on Wednesday, the group Liberal Left said it hoped to become a rallying point for members opposed to the coalition and those who see the party as a centre-left organisation seeking common cause with Labour, Greens and others on the centre left.
Has the fight back against the Orange Book begun? I hope so.
I will be at the Gateshead Conference, speaking on Friday evening.
Thanks for reading this post.

We need a Labour Party splinter group, methinks.
It’s called Labour Left
