Amongst the confusion of last night (Dav seemed to take top spot before many Lib Dems even knew what the deal was), we at least cleared a couple of things up - Gord handed in his resignation (how adorable are his kids? He should have got them to run his party campaign!), then stepped down from party Leader (nice to see a woman in a top spot for a change, Harriett), then Dave hot on his tale moved straight in with a blooming wife.
Then the con-lib deal was firmed up.
It looks like this:
Dave is PM
Nick is his new BFF as Deputy PM (will enjoy watching how this 'works')
Lib Dems take 6 seats (a quarter) of cabinet seats, and 15 ministerial jobs in Whitehall.
Osborne (god help us) is Chancellor, with Cable his No 2 specifically in charge of the banks. So the Chancellor then?
William Hague is Foreign Secretary.
Here's how the papers look this morning:
The Sun thinks it's a Dave new world - I see what you did there, Mr Murdoch...:
The Mail gets all romantic on us:
The Telegraph - shouts to us with a HUGE headline (biggest ever?) while tempting us with a watch we're likely never to be able to afford when Dave takes a look at the taxes:
The Times is just about as romantic as the Mail but I like the pic, even if I don't like who's in the pic - perhaps Dave will use it as the Cameron's Christmas card this year?:
And the Guardian, who famously backed the Lib Dems and might end up with more than a little Clegg, I mean egg on their face:
Much more honest than all of these however, is the Mirror. Good luck indeed. To all of us...
