Now is the time for Liberal Democrat MPs to come to the aid of their party - and the country. They should turn their backs on the coalition and join forces with the Labour opposition in order to oust David Cameron from power.
This is just the right moment to unseat a prime minister who has forfeited his right to the office. The string of policy U-turns previously indicated that he is devoid of political touch. But his lack of judgment has been acutely exposed in relation to the phone-hacking scandal.
He ignored advice to the contrary by making Andy Coulson, the disgraced former editor of the News of the World, his communications chief. He compounded the error by inviting Coulson to Chequers after he had resigned.
He has been exposed as indulging in far too cosy a relationship with Rupert Murdoch and, most particularly, the former News International chief executive and erstwhile NoW editor, Rebekah Brooks.
He avoided attending the key Commons debate on hacking and the future of BSkyB, rightly being accused of failing to show proper leadership.
He watched the Met police chief Paul Stephenson fall on his sword. Yet he is surely more at fault than Stephenson, who hired a former NoW deputy editor, Neil Wallis, who was not, at that time, publicly linked to the hacking scandal.
