Leadership gossip!!
Saturday 21st January 2006 - I had to go to London today for the first meeting of the Lib Dems English Council Executive (ECE) of the new year and needless to say much of the general chit chat between the "official" business centred on the Leadership contest.
People appeared to be generally guarded about who they were backing, not surprising given the number of senior Party officers present, but I had a very embarrassing moment when my mobile went off during the meeting when Saj Karim MEP called me to say he had decided to confirm publicly he was backing Ming!!
I was delighted to hear that news, having had supper with Saj and his wife Zahida at their house only two days ago, spending most of the evening debating the merits of the candidates and encouraging Saj to get on board sooner rather than later!!
Feels like the momentum is swinging in Ming's favour!
