Prime Minister David Cameron hails a "progressive alliance" between the Tories and Lib Dems based on shared values not a grab for power.

I've just watched Nick Clegg on the Andrew Marr show and I have come to a few conclusions. Nick has (in my opinion) aped David Cameron and duplicated Conservative policies (apart from on the EU) from the day he was installed as Lib Dem leader.

In a combative Commons exchanges during prime minister's question time, Cameron accused the prime minister of turning "irresponsible boom" into an "irresponsible bust".

David Cameron continues to impress. He is a prime minister in waiting and has proved this once again during his interview with Andrew Marr this morning. Conservative Home has a precis of what he said here.
