Quotes of the Week

"In another anniversary speech [Nick Clegg] outlined some of the ways the £12bn wasted on the cut in VAT could have been spent. His proposals included funding for insulation and energy efficiency and reopening old railway lines. That sounds to me like a better use of fiscal stimulus on the eve of an era where public spending is going to get eyewateringly tight."

Steve Richards

Opinion column, The Independent - 23 December

"We don't need an inquiry to know where the blame lies for the invasion of Iraq five and a half years ago. The Government voted for this disastrous war, Gordon Brown signed the cheques and the Tories cheered them on."

Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
