My connection keeps on failing so I've missed the row that had started between Sturgeon and Ed.

Did Clegg think through his Wizard of Oz analogy? If we follow the logic to the end then the Tories will realise they have a heart, Labour are shown to already have a brain and Clegg is revealed to be a short fraud hiding behind a curtain pretending to have more power than he actually does.
