The latest episode of Never Mind The Bar Charts takes a look at a book that has made me rethink several things I thought I knew about the history of the Liberal Democrats and Liberals before them.
It also contains some wonderfully acerbic photo captions and some not terribly kind words about David Lloyd George.
It is a book from another David - David Laws - and is a history of Labour - Liberal (Democrat) relations over the last century.
