The Spectator's use of the word cockwomble

http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/05/little-englanders-its-time-to-give-sadiq-khan-a-break/

I noticed that Rod Liddle used the word 'cockwomble' with regards to Miliband in the Spectator.
I thought that this word was invented by @LeroyAmbrose on this very site. Does Liddle read this site and is this the first instance of a new word being first used here?

    Pretty sure, actually, that I did invent it. I also claim the word 'fucknugget' - though it's possible that I got that from Blabbermouth (a metal news site)

    If you call someone a cockwomble on Twitter it automatically gets retweeted by a cockwomblebot. Try it .

    Is that the sound of asthmatic onanism?
