Peter Oborne writes in tomorrow's Daily Mail: So what should we do? One part of the answer is to cherish those politicians who really are honest and decent. It is important that this number includes David Cameron. Top of the list, however, is the wonderful Lib Dem Treasury spokesman Vince Cable, who claimed next to nothing in allowances, bought no flats, stole no taxpayers' money and mad...

If there is substance to Peter Oborne's conjecture in this morning's Mail that there is a deal in the offing for Brown to bring the Lib Dems into government, this could be Brown's and Clegg's biggest miscalculation to date.

Peter Oborne’s column today is explosive stuff. He writes that secret talks have already begun between Labour and Liberal Democrat figures about a possible coalition. He reports that as a sweetener to any possible deal the Labour Whips office is already drumming up support for Ming Campbell as the next Speaker. Oborne points to an article by Vince Cable suggesting that a national government ...

The Deputy Prime Minister's passion for constitutional change has been written off as harmless Lib Dem pottiness - but it could do immense damage to our system of government, says Peter Oborne.
