News breaking today has made the situation for the Prime Minister rather uncomfortable. It appears that PM Mr David Cameron's future as Premier will heavily depend upon the role played in these matters by his Chief of Staff Mr Ed Llewellyn.
It has been suggested that Mr Llewellyn acted to insulate Mr Cameron from information that a former colleague of Andy Coulson had been working for the Met Police. Mr Clegg, Lord Ashdown & the Guardian newspaper all claim to have given Mr Cameron warnings about hiring Coulson, with the Guardian believed to have handed information to Mr Llewellyn. Mr Cameron has denied receiving the messages.
With calls in the Guardian for Liberal Democrats to move a motion of no-confidence and the Tory backbenchers' 1922 committee set to meet, tomorrow's debate, beginning around 11:30, aught to be very interesting.
