Liberal Democrat makeover

The Liberal Democrats have reshuffled seating arrangements on their collective fence and have introduced some new people you've never heard of to their "shadow shadow cabinet" replacing other individuals you were never likely to hear much about anyway. Even John Prescott is said to have smiled at the news.

In another ground breaking move, the Liberal Democrat "shadow front bench" now represents only a third of their total Parliamentary party compared to half prior to the election. Both MPs not in the shadow cabinet are "gutted".
