Is Charles Kennedy an AA member?

It’s the 4th emergency service for those who like more than a drink or two (join up here). His political career seems beyond breakdown cover now though.

Perhaps Kennedy is trying to use his drink problem to divert the media attention away from his bigger issue – his Lib Dem leadership fiasco. He probably got the idea from Jo Moore (it’s a good time to ‘bury’ bad news).

Liberal Democrat members are now on the lookout for a new leader. Someone who is young, charismatic, fresh faced, rides a bicycle into work, an eco warrior. Of course they could just join the Conservatives!
