Did you wield the dagger?

And we're over to Cowley Street where Simon Hughes is speaking in sepia tones for some reason. Campbell's resigned and Deputy Leader Vince Cable (the only person in the Liberal Democrats who is older than Ming) is taking over until a successor can be found.

The assembled hacks spent the latter part of the interview roaring "did you wield the dagger" at Vince, who had previously admitted earlier that Ming's position was "under discussion."

This has to be one of the most rapid political assassinations since Julius Caesar copped it.
