Guido can only presume that Tim Farron was drunk when he gave an interview to the Telegraph, in which he claimed:

“By taking responsibility for maintaining wide, competent, balanced approach to the economy the Liberal Democrats are the chief reason for the recovery.”

If you say so Tim. The LibDem president’s delusions do not stop there. The godly wannabe-leader is advertising for a grandly titled, taxpayer-funded, £17,000 “presidential intern“. Which, given recent events, has rather unfortunate connotations…

President Farron now travels with a full entourage of advisers and bag carriers whenever he is on the move. When Guido asked whether the party was paying for them, one quipped: “No, we’ve got no money.” No economic recovery for the LibDems then.
