So Ming Campbell says we should all use energy efficient lightbulbs. Quite right. How many does he have in his house? Er, none. Another politician being accused of don't do as I do, do as I say. Click HERE for more. It's not the lightbulb that needs changing, it's the leader.
PS Go on Mark Senior, defend your leader!
PPS And before anyone asks, about 80% of the lightbulbs in my house are energy efficient. So there!

20 quid to the person who catches Dave dashing around buying energy saving lightbulbs before someone asks him.
I bet Dave doesn't do lightbulbs - rather, boxes of organic glow worms, placed strategically about the house...
And I reckon DD doesn't have lightbulbs either - if he wants to see, he just lights his farts....
My conscience is clear, I didn't vote for Grandpa Werthers.
I have to say that this is real amateur hour stuff, if you're going on radio to tell everyone to use efficient bulbs you ensure you fitted yours a week or so before.
That no-one in Cowley Street seems to know that is pretty worrying.
Lightbulbs would be totally unneccessary if only we could see in the dark.
Therefore, we are going to propose that instead of buying lightbulbs, every citizen is issued with a pair of infra-red night vision goggles with the Lib Dem logo emblazoned above each lens.
We think this sits well with our other policies like fighting for Iain Huntley to have the right to vote and for go-carting as a reward for seriel yobbish behaviour. It shows we have vision.
This policy will negate the crisis facing Ming with regard to changing the 500 lightbulbs in his mansion as his ladder is not tall enough and will out-green David Cameron.
The Conservative's new oak tree logo simply will not compete with our new logo showing a lightbulb with a cross on it. It will be the first instructional party logo.
We think this policy will be popular among our more radical sandal-wearing supporters.
Resettlement plans are in place to accommodate workers from the light bulb manufacturing and supply sector. Workers will be secretry retrained to work in night goggle factories, putting Britain at the forefront of this technology.
The press conference will be held in total darkness and all journalists will be fitted with a pair of our night vision goggles by one of our more attractive female MPs.
Our only concern is how viewers at home will see us on TV when we launch the product.
We propose a lightbulb amnesty until everyone in Britain is fitted with the night vision devices.
Please await your full policy briefing pack and your goggles.

Does this mean we may also have to have a change at DPM?
Going off at a bit of a tangent, surely Ming the Useless sold his car, rather than putting it beyond use, so for all we know it might be getting far more use than before

Your policies are very sound and will appeal to all. I feel however that the night vision goggles may be too expensive for the Treasury. Would you consider supplying those little headlights with LEDs in that run off two AAA batteries? The lens of the light could have the Lib Dem logo on it and that would cast a shadow of the same shape. Just like when the Police Commissioner of Gotham City shines the Bat Signal for help from the hero.
Mmmm, then again Costco sell wind up LED torches, £10 for two and no batteries, greener as well!
Grandpa Sir Ming can make these mistakes because nodoby, except political hacks and bloggers, will notice. There are slightly more pressing news items!
Good Morning Iain , Have to say we cannot do as well as the Conservatives on this question . There are many more amusing answers to the question as to How many Conservatives does it take to change a lightbulb .
I particularly like -
a ) we are just waiting For Dave's chauffeur to get back from following him on his weekly bike ride .
b ) We have no policy on changing lightbulbs at the moment but will have when our policy commision reports in a couple of years time . Until then you will have to sit in the dark . At least you won't be able to see we have no policies on anything .
c ) We are trying to contact strawman Dave but until then nothing can be done .
Credit must be given to DC for raising the profile Green issues.
We can all knock him for this and that but at the end of the day he's been brave and done well.
It doesn't really matter what Ming says or does, they are never going to be in power and few even listen but Labour (Gordon) are going to have to do something pretty spectacular to get the Young and Green vote.
