Tories and Lib/dems have a deal.....

[R1Geezer]

Finally we get that squatter out of no 10. It may only be for 6 months but I for one am delighted the latest Labour nightmare is over. Why is it that Labour always trash the place and leave the Tories to clean up the mess then just as we are back doing well, the dozy public put Labour back in again?! QED 1997!

[Davethedog]

I know that you find it abhorrent and totaly unbritish - its called democracy.

Maybe you go somewhere where they don't allow it.

[Gromit]

Have they? The BBC is saying the Lib/Dems are seeking clarification?

[squarebear]

No deal has been struck yet.

[R1Geezer]

well sky news were saying they had a deal but no details as yet. It now seems that sky too are going with the "Clarification" story. Still it's close people!

The headline here says they have a deal: http://news.sky.com/skynews but when you select it theygo for the clarification bit, all a bit up in the air.

if you could get your mind above the level of Sun headlines then you would realise that Brown has been behaving totally correctly in staying at No 10

[jake-the-peg]

That "squatter" stuff is for Sun readers

Sky can be a bit too quick off the mark sometimes

The MPs and executive have to OK it too - sounds like there's a proposal though and that's what's being examined by those two bodies

[Bobbisox]

agree bibble, it is in the constitution that he stays there until a new PM is in office

[R1Geezer]

I am aware of the constitutional position and I know he must stay there but he could have acknowldged that he now has no mandate and promised to go when a successor is apparent. Instead of scratching around trying to cling to power erroniously.

[Bobbisox]

I don't think he is trying to cling to power, it's too late for that R1, but I would be interested what people are saying about the new double act in a few months time

[OrcadianOil]

If you can't see the white smoke, there's still no deal!!!!!!!

[joggerjayne]

"That "squatter" stuff is for Sun readers "

Noo ... it's for all of us taxpayers, whose hard earned money pays for No.10 Downing St, out of which that seedy little *** Brown is still refusing to move.

Maybe we should ALL go and camp in No.10.

After all ... we all pay for it.

[Joolee1980]

...you were saying?

[ummmm]

I can't answer as Geezer thinks I'm too stupid and I should shut the fcuk up......!!!

Geezer....is it really too hard for you to understand?

[jednbutter]

Do we have any gold reserves left or not ?
