LibDem leadership hopefuls Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne apparently squabbled like kids when they came head-to-head on today BBC's Politics Show on BBC1...
Missed the spat myself as I was on the way back from the national Labour Students conference in Grantham where I was honoured again to be a speaker...
I caught the end of the Politics Show, when presenter Jon Sopel says if you want to see today's broadcast, including the Clegg-Huhne fallout, go the the Politics Show website.
I just have done, but frustratingly the 'see again' feature hasn't yet been updated and still repeats last week's Politics Show...Very annoying.
Did anyone see it...is it worth repeating?
UPDATE: The clip is now on the BBC site and they go at each other like rats in a sack: Huhne accuses Clegg of 'flip floppery', trying to face both ways, allegations that Clegg is a 'calamity' and Clegg fighting to defend himself.
Less than edifying, and certainly fiercer than anything we ever saw between the two Davids - Steel and Owen - when the Libs had two leaders, and a rare but real insight behind internal tensions and disunity in today's LibDem party...
Who said come back Ming Campbell or Chas Kennedy...?

Having earlier watched Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne on The Politics Show I think one would be forgiven for thinking that they were from rival parties rather than taking part in a leadership contest.
First Huhne was forced into denying charges (later proven) of describing his opponent as a "calamity" only to later accuse rival Nick Clegg of "flip-flopping."
And there was me thinking that geeks always wore sandals.
great job at Labour Students btw!
