Razzall Gone Out of Lib Dems' Campaigns
Unconfirmed rumour that the splendidly named Baron Razzall is out as Chair of the Liberal Democrats' Campaigns and Communications Committee. Will miss him just because he had a name that sparkled.
Source couldn't say if he jumped or was pushed, the LibDems flatline local election results would suggest the latter. Any insights co-conspirators? Email Guido.
UPDATE : Confirmed in the comments (can there be anything more reliable in politics than this blog's comments) that Baron Razzall is now Ming the Mumbler's personal spin-meister. That will keep him busy. Very busy.
UPDATE : Cowley Street press office professionalism demonstrated by conversation with co-conspirator "Can you confirm that Lord Razzall has been sacked?" other end hesitates, says what sounds like "uh, yeah" and then says "I'll have to get back to you on that one".

Guido, if you miss the Razzall name (and appreciate intelligent, attractive women), watch Channel 4 News – Razz's daughter is a presenter. Piccy here.
Not sure if he jumped or pushed but he has now been reinvented as a personal advisor to Ming.
Who will be first to the 'Razzal fails to dazzle' headlien then?
“Did he jump or was he pushed” Ming’s personal support answers your question.
“You have to get behind someone, before you stab them in the back” Sir Humphrey.
It was first confirmed here: http://fourthterm.net/plog.
Lib Dems almost sharing names with low rent skin mags - this one has potential.

Or you could just go out and buy the magazine :) Mind you intelligent and attractive does not really spring to mind
Do I detect his hand behind the stunning photo-shopped effort of his leader in a tracksuit and hoodie that appeared in last weekend's Independent on Sunday, under the headline 'Bling Campbell'?
Given there was an advertisement in last week's edition of Lib Dem News - which I got on Friday- inviting people to apply for the post of Chair of the CCC (the Lib Dem Party's campaigns committee which Lord Razzall chaired), this is the least shocking news I have ever read on here.
I haven't got a copy in front of me but I am pretty certain it mentioned Lord Razzall was standing down.
Can I suggest Guido you take out a subscription to help you, and others, keep up? https://www.libdems.org.uk/support/newssubscribe.html
Happy Birthday Prezza!
Born 31st May 1938.
Aged 68 today.
Many happy returns.
So retire you fat fucker!
Anonymong,
It was news to non-readers of LibDem News, which is after all a small circulation "specialist" interest periodical.
The BBC seems to think it news this evening and the Guardian's Backbencher denies it has happened.
So all in all I'd say it was a good ahead of the mainstream little story.
Finally can I suggest you put LDN online for us all to read free of charge. It would after all save paper and be the greener thing to do.
