It’s not the most obvious catchphrase, but at least it’s memorable, so that’s a start.
The Lib Dem leader was talking to voters in Cambridge today, although it’s not entirely clear how the comment came about.
Farron DOES own a spaniel, but he didn’t have it with him today. In this picture the dog is doing its best not to smell the MP.

And he WAS talking to someone with a dog today. They can briefly be glimpsed in the video.

Remember folks, it’s not a sin to smell a spaniel. Sniffing, on the other hand…
