Another nail in the coffin...

Greetings from the extremely sporadic free wifi onboard the Edinburgh to Kings Cross. TB is on his way home after finishing his last week of university. There are only finals between him and the big wide world.

Just spotted this

fantastic piece of news
. Without asking it being requested, Obama is taking an hour out of his G20 schedule for a meeting with DC. As he has made it perfectly clear in the past, TB doesn't care much for Obama but how does the old saying go about your enemy's enemy being a friend? The G20 bubble has burst for Gordon. So much hope and expectation was pinned on it, to the extent it was openly talked about in Labour circles as a potential launch pad to go to the country if it went well. If that happens this bear will eat his hat.

This is yet another wound to Gordon's already diminished leadership. Avoid flying mobile phones in Downing St today.

I think this an entirely proper thing for Obama to do - Cameron may well be the next Prime Minister. I suspect that Obama would have done this even if the polls were showing a different picture. Just another example of Obama as the consummate politician.
