Sir Menzies Campbell has vowed to get angry on behalf of Britain's "frustrated majority" as he marks his first year as Liberal Democrat leader. BBC
He said he is ready to step up a gear and move the Lib Dems into a new phase. I'm reminded of the toe-curling Iain Duncan Smith conference speech which immediately preceded his demise as Conservative leader: "The quiet man is here to stay, and he's turning up the volume."
A pity it ended that way, because IDS is a good man. Sometimes – both in politics and in the real world – people are at their best when they're not playing in the first division.
