Here are the videos of the Lib Dem leader's appearance before the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry today. He began to give evidence shortly before the lunch break - that's the video above, which should start where Ed's evidence begins - and returned for a much longer session after it. That's in the video below. Ed suffered sounded increasingly contrite and suffered some awkward moments. I'll add more comment when Nick Wallis has published his blog post on his evidence. Later. Wallis has now posted his piece on Ed Davey's evidence and it's not flattering. You can read it on ...
Of course they do. Every former politician now has a podcast. And, no, I've not listened to it. If you want to - and it's your right in a free country - you will find the pair of them on YouTube.
I was back in my beloved Creeting St Peter on Monday, in my capacity both as Chair and Responsible Finance Officer of our small, but perfectly formed, Parish Council. In fairness, it couldn't be described as an exciting one. Efficient yes, thrilling... no, not really. We're pretty effective in a low-key way.

As I write Ed Davey is appearing at the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry. You can watch him here: You can use the same live link to watch Jo Swinson at the inquiry tomorrow morning . You can catch up here. * Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice.

A deliberately eye-catching question from Miranda Green and the Financial Times but plenty of substance to the discussion.
Planning for the Autumn Federal Conference this year has been fraught with difficulties. First, there was a real worry that it would coincide with an intensive General Election campaign, and arrangements were made for a shorter version of the event. Then, when the July election was announced, planning was put on hold until after polling day. It is now back to normal and running for its full length from 14th to 17th September in Brighton. Registration finally opened last Friday. Since then members have been complaining about the short period for the Early Bird rates, ending on 23rd July, some ...
Whisper it softly, Labour could well end up out of government at the next Senedd elections. That at least is the verdict of one Welsh academic, who says that there is a real possibility that a midterm slump in support for Labour at the UK level could augur the unthinkable, namely an election in Wales in which Labour does not emerge as the largest party. In the Guardian, Richard Wyn Jones argues that Vaughan Gething's resignation in the midst of a donations scandal in which no rules were broken, and a mishandled ministerial sacking, combined with a poor General Election ...
