by Stephen Tall on February 4, 2013
Here’s my 2007 Lib Dem leadership election ballot paper: Chris Huhne got my first preference. (Okay, with only two candidates there wasn’t really a need to mark the figure ’1′: I’m just a die-hard preferential voter.) I slightly surprised myself (…)

by Stephen Tall on September 25, 2012
The Telegraph has published its annual list of Top 50 influential Lib Dems, compiled by Iain Dale and Brian Brivati. I’m a new entry at number 41, charting higher than Ming Campbell or indeed Nick Clegg’s ‘So Sorry’ video. It’s (…)
LDVideo: Nick Clegg Entschuldigt Sich
by Stephen Tall on September 24, 2012
I suspect Nick Clegg may well have had enough of spoof videos by now. But on the off-chance he hasn’t, LBC’s Iain Dale has re-worked that famous clip from Downfall… almost affectionately, I think. Judge for yourselves: Nick Clegg Entschuldigt Sich from Iain Dale on Vimeo. * Stephen Tall is Co-Editor of Liberal Democrat Voice, [...]

Yesterday we reported the Telegraph’s list of numbers 26 to 50 in their annual list of ‘influential Lib Dems’, as devised by Iain Dale, Brian Brivati “with the help of a panel of senior Lib Dems”. Today we find out who they placed top of the pile… The least surprising news is that Nick Clegg [...]

I was a guest – together with Conservative blogger Iain Dale and Labour blogger Hopi Sen – on last night’s BBC Radio 4′s The Westminster Hour with the lovely Carolyn Quinn. In the highly unlikely event that you missed listening (…)
LDV weekend meme: what is the state of the Lib Dem blogosphere?
by Stephen Tall on July 18, 2010
When Iain Dale asked if Lib Dem Voice would once again co-sponsor Total Politics’ Best Blog Poll 2010, he also set me some homework: to write c.1,500 words on ‘the State of the LibDem blogosphere’ by the end of the month.

by Stephen Tall on April 11, 2010
I’ve been amused to see the rush-to-rubbish Vince Cable today among some right-wing bloggers following his appearance on BBC1’s The Politics Show.
Iain Dale (but of course) was first up to tweet: “Well done Jon Sopel for finally exposing Vince Cable as the overrated flipflopper that he is.” He was soon followed by ConservativeHome’s Tim [...]
