DERBY'S desperate Liberal Democrat cabinet have been caught out claiming credit for a fund to protect jobs for young people - weeks after admitting they knew nothing about it.
Labour group leader Councillor Chris Williamson heaped pressure on Lib Dem leader Hilary Jones and Tory counterpart Harvey Jennings when he wrote to the pair early in the summer, urging them to support Labour's Future Jobs Fund.
The fund aims to ensure young people are not thrown on to the jobs scrapheap during the recession.
Hilary Jones admitted she knew nothing about the fund at the time, but her deputy leader Les Allen has now claimed credit for the scheme in the local media.
We've seen this time and again from the Lib Dems, but rarely have they been so careless to cover their tracks when they're blatantly trying to claim credit for a scheme that had nothing to do with them.
It's another sign of their lack of vision, their inability to think for themselves and their sheer incompetence.
