The party is reviewing its procedures for investigating claims of sexual harassment after Channel 4 News disclosed that Lord Rennard had been accused of pestering several female staff – a claim he denies. The women claimed that the allegations were reported to senior figures in the party, including Paul Burstow, then the party's chief whip and a minister until last year, and Jo Swinson, who is currently minister for women, but were not taken seriously.
The development comes as the party faces a growing crisis over plunging support, and amid fears that it will lose next week's Eastleigh byelection triggered by the resignation of Chris Huhne.

Nick Clegg has asked Tim Farron, the party president, to establish an "immediate review into all our procedures for dealing with these issues, including a thorough examination of how allegations made in the past have been handled" following the claims against Rennard.

But, don't worry it's being investigated by a panel of five senior party members... What could possibly go wrong? When the Lib Dems are outflanking you on women's liberation you've got to look at your own game.
