What do the LibDems pictured above have in common? Well, for starters they are all councillors or council candidates in Vince Cable’s constituency of Twickenham, all featured on his local LibDem website. Here are their names from left to right:
Susan Burningham – council candidate in Twickenham RiversideRoger Crouch – council candidate in Twickenham RiversideBen Khosa – councillor in St Margaret’s & North TwickenhamJonathan Cardy – councillor in Fulwell & Hampton HillJohn Coombs – councillor in HeathfieldArnie Gibbons – ex-councillor in Whitton
What else do they have in common? They have all signed the LibDems4Change petition organised by anti-Clegg plotters calling on their leader to resign. Six key figures in Vince Cable’s local party are signed up members of the public plot to oust Clegg. Mathematically improbable when you consider that only 1% of the party membership is publicly backing the putsch. By coincidence Lord Oakeshott was in Twickenham as recently as Monday last week. Presumably Vince will tell us he knows nothing about this either…
