Well, the news we've been expecting for a while has arrived: leading Lib Dem Chris Huhne, the Energy Secretary, has been charged with perverting the course of justice and now faces a criminal trial and the loss of his Cabinet position.

Who will replace him? Too soon to bring back another disgraced ex-Cabinet Minister David Laws, and the rest are a bit thin on ther ground. Who cares. The Lib Dems are a spent force in terminal decline locally and nationally.
