Things started to go very wrong very quickly this afternoon when the Lib Dems Twitter account tweeted out extracts from a speech given by Nick Clegg.
Eventually it sheepishly issued a correction.
*Correction* "We didn't go into govt because it was the easy thing to do, we went into govt because it was the right thing to do"
Then, although the account was just extracting from Clegg's speech, it read as if it was having an identity crisis.
"We are not the Tories. We don't believe in an ever shrinking state"
Um okay.
"We are not Labour either"
And finally the Liberal Democrats Twitter account tweeted this gem, which has 150 retweets as of writing.
Just to clarify: We don't construct sentences because we can, we construct sentences, because we can.
But before everyone gave up, the Labour Party's press account made sure it reminded Twitter of this Lib Dem fail from September last year.
CORRECTION: "The aim of our party should be to realign British politics by NOT joining up with one of the other parties" #ldconf
And people following everything on Twitter had a pretty good time of it.
Next joke please? @LibDems
U ok hun? Mail me bbz RT @LibDems Just to clarify: We don't construct sentences because we can, we construct sentences, because we can.
Argh, the @libdems twitter feed seems to have turned into a fortune cookie.
