The Liberal Democrats are in chaos over their views on Higher Education funding. With Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg due to visit Cambridge today, Cambridge Labour Parliamentary candidate Daniel Zeichner is challenging the Liberal Democrats to get their act together:

“Nick Clegg says that the country needs savage cuts. Vince Cable says that there should be fewer students. Yet tomorrow evening, local Liberal Democrats have tabled a motion to the city council saying exactly the opposite. At the NUS debate on student fees a few months ago, the Liberal Democrat student spokesman sparked incredulity when he said that neither Nick Clegg nor Vince Cable spoke for Liberal Democrats on the issue of student fees. He said that fees should go. They admit we can't afford it. The only thing that is clear about the Liberal Democrat position on Higher Education funding is that it is completely incoherent and inconsistent.”
