22 I think

Staff inside No.10 told they'll know "one way or the other" what is happening by 6pm...

Clegg to get deputy leader + 6 cabinet places according to ex-Sun political editor George pascoe...

BBC: PM spokesman denies Brown has resigned

A.k.a. Lying

Labour saying that the talks with lib dems "never got off the ground". Lib dems said to be hacked off with the arrogance of un-elected 'bully' tactics of Mandelson and Campbell aparently

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/ (the same paper that broke the "Paul Allen to Buy Saints" story.... ;-) )

Bye bye Gordon

What was the sample and how many Tory voters didn't partake compared to the number of labour voters didn't partake? Just wondering ;-)

Suck

Yep, all parties break manifesto 'pledges' at the end of the day. They would be better badging them as 'aspirations' really

Ironically perhaps, I believe the conservatives only have 6 seats in the Scottish 'parliament' by virtue of the fact they have a pr system up there

They couldn't logistically all move to other airlines though, could they? How many 'spare' jobs do these other airlines have? Yours devils-advocately...

Yep, hence me saying labour heirarchy have offered AV before a referendum (apologies if I didn't make that bit clear)

Don't manifestos have to be compromised in a 'balanced government' scenario though...?

The conservatives haven't agreed to AV without a referendum. That's the tory offer to the lib dems: referendum first. The Labour heirarchy have simply tried to trump this offer by saying they would change the system before a referendum and it's that which labour MPs are unhappy about

Brown heading back to Downing Street...for the last time?

BBC: "Labour MPs have not supported the move by Brown to offer lib dems AV without a prior referendum" Back in Cameron's court me thinks, but as you say BTF, it's a poisioned challice

Beaming smiles from Hague, Osborne and letwin as they re-enter talks with lib dems. Relief they're not going to be in government or joy at being on the cusp of power?

Strangeways? (that's a joke in case any lawyers are watching)

The SNP spokesman just being interviewed made me chuckle (closely followed by a large sigh) He said: "the Tories forming an alliance with lib dems would be a travestry for Scotland as 85% of Scots didn't vote for the Tories" Erm, and how many Scots didn't vote for for the SNP? 80% You gotta love the logic of minority parties...

I think most staunch party supporters don't care who their leader is, but the more floating voter (i.e. c.40% of the country) ARE influenced by who the leaders are, regardless of what the purists think. People are human afterall (well, mandleson excepted)

Brown just left downing street for house of commons. Discussions with lib dems on verge of breakdown or agreement nearly reached which brown needs to rubber stamp?

I made my vote last Thursday based on which leader of the country I wanted. I apologies profusely on behalf of the majority of the electroate.

Yep
