Lib Dems self destructing,,,

The Lib Dems appear to be falling apart at the moment with the resignation of Paul Rainger, the Director of Campaigns and David Norman, the Director of Policy and Communications. It is quite clear that Cowley Street is not a happy place and it is possible more resignations could follow.

Rumours are that the Lib Dems are deeply concerned they may have to pay back the £2.4m lent to them before the last election. Despite Ming Campbell’s denials last week on Sunday AM that the party would not be bankrupt, it has emerged that this would indeed be the case as the Lib Dems simply haven’t got the money.

It is also considered unlikely that they would be able to raise the funds through donations, as a number of the Lib Dem big donors are fans of Charles Kennedy and not prepared to support Ming in the same way.

Could it be due to this that people from some of the highest ranks of Cowley Street are resigning? Ming Campbell is on Question Time tonight. Could be interesting!
