Westminster is working itself into a frenzy as we wait for the official announcements,
statements and rituals of state which will surely come in the next few hours.
The very latest is that Cabinet ministers are saying Brown will go either tonight or tomorrow morning; Vince Cable has suggested a Lib-Con deal is “very close”; and all the noises are about a full coalition, perhaps with Nick Clegg as deputy Prime Minister.
But enough of that: we shall soon have something more concrete to grasp than all the rumours and helicopter imagery. And it will be nothing less than the end of 13 years of Labour government.
