Norman Lamb launches his leadership bid

This afternoon Norman Lamb confirmed that he is standing for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats.

According to BBC News:
He told BBC Look East he made his decision to stand after "an awful lot" of soul-searching in a period of "complete exhaustion" after the election. 
But he concluded he should do it, he said, as "obviously the party suffered devastating results last Thursday. It's critically important that we reconnect and... have an effective advocate for what modern liberalism is all about." 
He added: "As health minister I put body and soul into it and I would do the same for this job."
The first online evidence of his campaign is the Twitter account Lamb for Leader, which has retweeted an impressive number of endorsements this evening.

    If he's perceived as Clegg's heir I suspect it will be more like "Lamb to the Slaughter."

    Norman Lamb is not stupid. Let's listen to what he has to say.

    You're probably right. No one could be so stupid as to present himself as Clegg's heir.
