Has Brown blown a deal with the LDs?
Could last night’s phone call be crucial?
A big development in the last few minutes is a report on the BBC of a conversation between Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg last night in which the prime minister’s approach was described as a diatribe and hardly conducive to possible future working.
The source was a “prominent Lib Dem” who also said that the Clegg-Cameron talks had been convivial.
It might be on such personal relationship issues that the future government might be determined.
