A very rare example of a Lib Dem being able to use numbers well.
Amusingly, Stephen Tall (random Lib Dem from Oxfordshire) has managed to twist a press release supporting Harriet Harman for deputy PM into a case for Hillary Benn.
I think everyone is convinced Hillary Benn is a nice guy, but he still seems a little obscure to me.
The other question many people must be asking is "What does the deputy PM actually do?"
It always seemed to be a job for someone who couldn't be trusted with a 'proper' cabinet position. Michael Heseltine needed something grand without too much potential to mess things up. John Prescott needed to the same treatment.
We'll see if Hillary Benn can manage to achieve anything in the position.
