As I write Sky News (and full marks to them for excellent and comprehensive coverage) are poised, almost teetering on Kay Burley's high-heels, to tell us all that 'Dave' and 'Nick' (the leader of the 'Tarts' party, so called for obvious reasons) are about to be joined in un-holy wedlock! My only question is how will the 'Tarts' stand up to the strain when the going gets really tough, as it undoubtedly will over the next few months. To put it in the vernacular, there are some 'right Bolshie buggers' amongst the Tarts' team in Parliament and if stern, not say, Thatcherite, steel is required to deal with militant unionists will they toe the party line? And that, in turn, begs the question of just how good and how tough their parliamentary whips will be? Interesting times - I fear!

DD, you are being absurdly negative. On Friday, exhausted and disappointed, both Cameron and Clog had to decide what to do next. In less than five full days they've managed to come up with a coalition scheme that will see us through (I guess) the next few months. After that it'll be "events, deah boy, events" that control. En passant, they managed to remind everyone of the intrinsic shittiness of Brown/Mandelson/Campbell. Quite good going, I'd say. Of course, it's odds against their managing to avoid a default on government debt, but that'll be the fault of Blair and Brown, not them. Meantime, it's odds against avoidance of defaults in the Eurozone and the USA too. And Japan. And Uncle Tom Cobbleigh.

I'm being negative, 'DM'? Your last two sentences hardly started my morning with sunshine and birdsong! I'm sure the euphoria of being FIPs (Fairly Important Persons) will keep the 'Tarts' quiet for a while but they have yet to face the sustained and vitriolic attacks from Labour and their various front organisations. The next couple of years is going to need men not boys and I'm not even sure if the Tories will stand the pressure, let alone the 'Tarts'.
