As I write, George Osborne, William Hague, Oliver Letwin and Mr Cameron's chief of staff, Ed Lewellyn has just left the cabinet office in Whitehall following what is being described by Mr Hague as an initial meeting. Chris Huhne, Danny Alexander, Andrew Stunnell and David Laws will represent the Lib Dems....
I get the feeling that the Liberal Democrats recognise that some arrangement with the Tories is pretty much the ONLY way we’re going to get a good majority government – which is what is needed at this critical time - and anything else at this time risks fiddling while Rome burns.
The fact that high-level talks (not just niceties, not just ‘we may get back to you’s) have already begun between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems suggests to me they know it.
Gordon, you better start packing...
