I read the sucking his tie bit as social awkwardness that is nonetheless endearing. As opposed to some strange tie sucking minority group they are trying to attract

I suppose they have to have a post-mortem but did it really all go wrong? 13 years is a pretty good run and they were by no means a pushover in the election (though not clear how much of that is due to DC's general inability to convince).

Heathcliffscathy · 14/05/2010 22:26

right, have google imaged, i don't hate her at all...i've got her totally mixed up with someone....but WHO (now totally obsessed with finding out who the picture is in my head which i thought was yvette cooper).

SpringHeeledJack · 14/05/2010 22:26

I read whole article, thinking "ooh, vaaaairy interesting" but all that's stuck is the tie sucking and feet/table thing. Oh, and that he said TB's Third Way was "wanky"

made me warm to him

Yvette Cooper - Opus Dei - Garter. Say no more

TDiddy · 14/05/2010 22:25

sophable - now it's all coming out . I have a pure image of Yvette ..... probably just me idealising leftie woman.

Heathcliffscathy · 14/05/2010 22:24

Well let him look after the kids. She will never get the chance again to run.

Heathcliffscathy · 14/05/2010 22:22

tdiddy: we've ALL done something wrong...

cinnamontoast · 14/05/2010 22:22

By the way, in article I linked to earlier I've just noticed the bit about David being prone to sucking the end of his tie in public 'which would embarrass his wife' but could apparently be built on as a political asset. Am I losing the plot here??

TDiddy · 14/05/2010 22:22

cinnamontoast - agree that we need shiny new leader. Also need to be ready should LibDems walk out however unlikely.

Ewe · 14/05/2010 22:21

Article in Guardian said that he offered to not run as he felt it was more important that a woman be in the running but she said it wasn't the right time for her.

I can understand that, they have three pretty young kids IIRC.
