Story alert
Fraser Nelson 6:07pmA good political story is about to break. Have no idea what, but Westminster's nervous system is twitching. My only information is that it is "big, followable and with us by midnight". Stay tuned.
UPDATE: The story is "good, but not an earthquake" I am told. That's good news for the Tories. They don't want the earth moving under No.10 before election day.
P.S. Iain Dale has a fantasy list of what the story could be ("Clegg says it was 130, not 30"). Not long to go now.

May 9th, 2008 9:10pm Report this commentStan, I'm kinda starting to regret this post now. This is a game the lobby play all the time. Rumour gets out that there is a story, everyone tries to find it out, then 9 times out of 10 its fairly pedestrian. I stick to the "good but no earthquake" update. I figured I'd do a wee post because what's a CoffeeHouse for if not rumours?
