Say sorry, keep quiet for a week, then let rip again. Clegg and LibDem chief whip Alistair Carmichael said his language had been “neither proportionate nor precise”, yet David Ward was never going to be able to hold his poisonous tongue for long:

No more apologies – we who support the # Palestinians are in the right – history will prove us right

"Apartheid state" – disproportionate language? Wake up in #Gaza with sewage stinking sea one side -nuclear armed state other – what u think?
