Oh dear. We didn’t think that Peter Black could get more fraught in his deflections during these awful early months of the ConDem coalition. But his latest appropriately entitled post, “All bluster and no substance”, which links us with self-serving Milord Prescott (no less) in order to portray a schism about NHS Direct, is bottom-scraping stuff indeed.
His “Labour-leaning” tag for this blog is now a rather tired allegation – and one which is based more on a lack of imagination than any supposed insight. Yet, such flailing around is only to be expected under such clearly trying times for Liberal Democrats. Perhaps we should be more sympathetic in future.
Nah.

The trouble with Peter Black and his fellow Lib Dem xenomorphs is that their own shape-shifting abilities seem to make them assign labels to everyone else. It is an arrogant obsession they display in many of their dealings and it belies all their pluralist whining in opposition.
Now they hold the reins of power and all the burdens of office that follow. Accordingly, and because of the incomplete nature of devolution, they are required to account for their actions in Wales as much as in Westminster. Regardless of whether he is spokesman by proxy, Peter Black changeable views about sleeping with the Tories should not disguise that he took an active role in making the bed.
More to the point however, a better politician would know that it is not enough to merely flag up inconsistencies among your critics and call it leadership.
Ap William? You seem to forget that Peter Black is a bit of an arse. (And not the only one in his party by any means).
