Headline writers clearly love their play on words, but the latest one from the Sheffield Star in an article by the, (entirely unrelated), Rachael Clegg is another stunner:
All work, rest and clay for leader Clegg
The reason being that Nick Clegg apparently enjoys clay sculpting in his spare time. As well as that being a complete surprise to me, (he’s obviously been keeping it for nights in with Miriam, rather than sharing with (now ex-) staff), it is a rather bizarre bit of the article to focus on. Mind you I have also never heard anyone refer to Nick as “invisible Clegg”.
Still, it fits nicely with the previous ones I have blogged about:
‘Am I really sexy?’ asks Cleggie. ‘Of course,’ I say, wishing I’d got to him before his wife…
an article from The Mail on Sunday which includes the now immortal lines:
He laughs guilelessly, an enchanting swooping sound like a scenic railway carriage in a windless hollow. I notice how his eyes are steady and clear.
and a previous one from the Sheffield Star:
Why Lib Dems ’star’ takes the biscuit. Home affairs spokesman always has time for a choccy biccy.
and that was before the recent Biscuitgate scandal.

Hey Anders. Yes I thought the ‘invisable Clegg’ line was a little odd and certainly one that I’ve ever come across.
I have to say that as someone who drafts the occasional press release, corny headlines are addictive.
One of my favourities recently has to be ‘Kids set to go Bananas for Lib Dem Free Fruit Plan’.
