Lib Dem supporters spell it out: We would struggle to win support for another coalition
Warning comes amid signs the Prime Minister is laying ground for second spell of shared power in 2015
Nick Clegg is being told he would struggle to win support within his party for a fresh coalition with the
Conservatives amid growing hostility to David Cameron within the Liberal Democrat grassroots.
The warning comes amid signs the Prime Minister is laying the ground for a second spell of Coalition
in 2015 by amending Tory Party rules to make it easier to strike a deal with the Lib Dems.
But the Deputy Prime Minister's allies fear he would run into entrenched opposition from activists for
a fresh Tory-Lib Dem pact - even if that was the election's logical outcome.
One said there were now some "totally irrational people" in the party who would not accept another
coalition with the Tories under any circumstances.

not so sure, most of their honourable members are from outlying areas where there is little interest in westminster politics, a good local man/woman is what they want.

Bright young things with nowhere to shine
No 'grit'? After drawing fire from a top Tory, graduates frustrated by a lack of career opportunities
know who is to blame
Sophie Bradford is still trying to find a job after graduating last summer
His CV is so slick it practically slips off the table into a scented Smythson envelope and posts itself
First Class to a select number of willing employers.
Eton, Oxford (membership of the Bullingdon Club inlcuded), banking, then, in 2005, election as the fourth
successive generation of his family to serve as a Tory MP. For Nick Hurd, minister for civil society
and son of former Foreign Secretary Lord Hurd, life has been a smooth journey up the career ladder.
But this week he warned that young people no longer have the tenacity to follow suit.
As figures reveal that more than a million 16 to 24-year-olds are not in work, and half never have been,
Hurd says he believes young people aren't getting jobs because they lack the required confidence,
self-control and grit. He also criticised schools for focusing solely on education and ignoring the social
skills sought by employers.
Some business leaders from the CBI and Federation of Small Businesses have since appeared to
back his comments. But many of those million-plus young people not in education, employment or
training (Neets) are not simply lazing goggle-eyed and hopeless behind games consoles. Instead,
they have won places at top universities, graduated with good degrees - and then stalled.
The Treasury may have heralded news yesterday of a revised 0.1 per cent rise in growth by claiming
that Britain is "moving from rescue to recovery". But for many top graduates fighting to get into a career,
meaningful paid work has simply dried up.

HS2 costs could double to over £80bn, says think tank
The cost of the planned high-speed railway linking London to Birmingham and the North is likely
to rise by a further £30 billion to £80 billion once ministers approve schemes to mitigate the
environmental impact and build transport links to the line, a think-tank claims.
The Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) is urging ministers to drop the project. In a report today
it says that the railway "defies economic logic" and will cost every household £3,000 to build.

Yes more big splurges of taxpayers cash, is endemic amongst the labour party and conservatives and libs
Labour party and the dome £800 million
Conservatives and labour, the Olympics £9.3 billon sports day
And now the conservatives £80 billion for a train track that nobody will be able to afford the tickets on
It will probably be bankrupted then sole of cheap the there friends
Bit like the channel tunnel fiasco

i don't think you can make a comparison between the olympics and the proposed new rail service keith, the figures i have seen show the olympics to be a great success when all is taken into consideration.

I will agree with you on that one Howard when £9.3 billion has been repaid back to the taxpayers
The loses in the grater London economy because people stayed away,
have still not been added to the totals.

Syria: Philip Hammond confuses Saddam Hussein with Bashar al-Assad on Newsnight
With David Cameron's shock Commons defeat on Syria sending Conservatives into disarray,
it's no surprise that Defence Secretary Philip Hammond seemed flustered on Newsnight.
However, that Mr Hammond appeared to forget who Britain had intended to strike against in Syria
was even more remarkable.
The Tory minister twice referred to " Saddam Hussein" instead of Bashar al-Assad, mixing up the
Syrian leader with the former Iraqi despot who was executed in 2006 . He spoke about "deterring
Saddam Hussein from further use of chemical weapons" and that "Britain should not take part in any
action against Saddam Hussein"

Syria crisis: David Cameron plans reshuffle after chaotic defeat in Commons
Prime Minister is reported to be furious as the full extent of the Government's disorganisation
over Syria vote becomes apparent
David Cameron will try to restore his shattered authority after his humiliating Commons rebuff
on Syria by reshuffling his ministerial team - and shaking up a Whips Office being blamed for his
disastrous defeat on Thursday night.
Sir George Young, the Conservative Chief Whip, is expected to pay the price by losing his job in
a reshuffle likely to take place within weeks. Although some Tory MPs believe he is being made a
scapegoat for a rush to military action by Mr Cameron, ministers said the performance of the party's
whips in the run-up to the crunch vote was poor. "It was the most woeful I have ever seen," one
long-serving Tory MP said tonight.
