Today in a remarkable U-turn, Nick Clegg has requested formal talks with Labour as Gordon Brown announces he will stand down once a replacement is found. Maybe the man in the chicken suit stood next to him yesterday when he was interviewed was a sign of things to come from Clegg.

This, dear readers, is Gordon Brown’s John Prescott moment.

According to reports, up to £2bn can be saved immediately by not replacing back office staff that leave or retire from the public sector. Financial boffins have stated that this could lead to a cut of between 20,000 and 40,000 jobs, but given the range they have quoted, their methodology and calculations must be far from precise.

This budget could be pivotal in deciding the election.

It goes without saying that it will be laced with electioneering spin and will try to distance Labour from the Conservatives in the run up to the election which many, including myself, are suggesting will be on May 6th. Creating such a party divide is a difficult task given that both parties are fighting over middle ground, though.

…and Britain is on the verge of total economic collapse after another 10 years of a Labour government.

Clogged roads and broken railways strangle an overcrowded island whose population are seething with anger, ready to explode.
