New PR chief needed for Nick Clegg

The current PR chief, one Mr Oates, has apparently left after 15 months, and only 6 months since Nick Clegg became leader of the party. He's returning to his former employer.

Doesn't look good, not at all.

I can't imagine Nick Clegg is looking forward to his first anniversary as leader with all the press interest in what he's achieved, or not, in that time. He'll certainly need a new spin merchant by then !
