Good lord. Derek's just mentioned "Radnorshire" on the weather. Didn't pick up on the atmospheric pressure affecting the Lib Dem councillors on Powys County Council though. Seems like it's not just Swansea valley voters who are upset with Mr Clegg.
Now we know that Head Girl, Kirsty Williams, has a problem with the idea of Lib Dems and Tories working together. But we're somewhere over the Rainbow - for the moment. Maybe not in love yet, as Jeremy Hunt's observed, but it seems to going well in this marriage of convenience. Ironically, it seems there will be no immediate restoration of the married couple's allowance to acknowledge the stability of this publicly announced union.
So how about a bit of wedding reception bonhomie to wish the couple well. Surely the prospect of Eric Pickles in government is something to be celebrated. Somewhat grumpily, the Telegraph has focused on helpful tips on which policy points are likely to be grounds for divorce. Maybe they could put them together in a handy free wall chart to help sell the Saturday edition. I note, however, that David Laws' choice of ties seems to has been omitted as a possible source of disharmony.
My favourite appointments? Cheryl Gillan for Wales. Caroline Spelman at DEFRA - someone who understands farmers feed us. And IDS at the DWP - a committed social justice warrior just where we need him.
