Lib Dems Deny Charles Kennedy Is About To Defect To Labour

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has dismissed press rumours that former Party leader Charles Kennedy is about to defect to Labour. 

Interviewed today, he brushed off the claims as part of the usual August 'silly season' when Parliament is in recess.

However with Simon Hughes already saying that Lib Dem MPs should have a veto over Coalition policies they don't like and with the spotlight of the Party Conference just weeks away, the full impact of intra-party disquiet could very soon be exposed.
