The LibDems were making headlines this morning over allegations Jo Swinson killed a squirrel. Guido decided to compile a helpful list of prominent examples of accusations* of animal slaughter by political figures… 

Lib Dems

• Jo Swinson: Killed a squirrel.
• Jeremy Thorpe: Had a dog shot.
• Michael Heseltine: Killed a dog.
• Michael Dixon: Jailed for killing a cat.

Labour

• Ed Milliband’s Dad: Killed a cat.
• Roy Hattersley’s dog Buster: Killed a royal goose.

Tories

• David Cameron: Shot a stag called Boris.

This is the only poll Guido can see the Lib Dems doing well in this election…
