Excruciating

Questioning the judgement of people in government is fairly common practice but the decision by Nick Clegg to be interviewed for the New Statesman by Jemima Khan breaks enitrely new ground in terms of political self-harm.

The cringingly written report of their encounter, which bears the headline “I’m not a punchbag – I have feelings”, begins with Khan observing that the Lib Dem leader looks as if he has been taxidermied”.

Based on press reaction so far, getting stuffed is likely to be the least of his problems.
