Now the Tories start to unpick Liberal Democrats work to tackle climate change
Now it seems that, not content with delivering unnecessary and ideological cuts to our welfare system, the Tories also want to undo some of the good work of our Ministers on climate change. In particular, they have announced they will end all Government funding to the Green Deal, a programme set up by the Liberal Democrats in Coalition that helps people make their homes more energy efficient.
As Tim Farron says, for five years Liberal Democrats fought sceptical Tories to ensure we were the greenest Government ever by investing billions in renewables and setting out ambitious climate change targets.
But in quietly dumping the Green Deal, David Cameron has once more shown how little he cares about the future of the planet.
I was particularly taken with this phrase, which is classic-Farron and underlines how life is not going to be boring with him as leader:
"The Prime Minister has not so much hugged a husky as led it behind the coal shed, shot it in the head and told his Energy Secretary it has gone to live on a farm in the country."
The value of having the Liberal Democrats in government is becoming clearer every day.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.
I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.

Speak to Liberals of a certain age and they will tell you how they were inspired to join by the rhetoric of Jo Grimond. What will be the Farron equivalent of "marching my troops towards the sound of gunfire" I wonder?
