Pot and Kettle

Chris Huhne threatening legal action over "untruths" told by Conservatives opposed to the Alternative Vote system is a tad rich. For starters Mr Huhne signed the NUS pledge not to raise tuition fees and was then one of 8 Liberal Democrat MPs to abstain from the vote on Government proposals to increase them. I am also indebted to the SNP for this on the Energy Secretary's U turn regarding nuclear subsidies last December.

During the LibDem leadership contest, Nick Clegg registered a formal complaint about Mr Huhne's conduct to Lord Rennard, the party's Chief Whip and returning officer, stating that his rival was indulging in "the politics of innuendo, mounting false challenges and running a campaign that is handing political ammunition to the party's political opponents".

If anyone undermines their credibility it's Chris Huhne!
