Media vultures start to circle Clegg

It is clear Nick Clegg is in trouble.  His poll ratings are dire and show no sign of improvement.  Even the mainly loyal readership of Lib Dem Voice are split down the middle on whether he should continue as leader.  And his advisers seem to be floundering about looking for anything that might turn things around.  Or at least that can only be the reason for Clegg's sudden conversion to taxing the rich, having voted to do the opposite in this year's budget.

Now the Guardian's Martin Kettle has waded into the debate with a thoughtful piece which makes the case for change at the top of the party.
