How much better can this weekend get

Firstly I watch England's fantastically strong performance to beat the Aussies in the rugby, then do my hourly flick around the news sites to see that Gordon seems to have bottled it (which I predicted he would). Now we just need Lewis Hamilton to win overnight and Arsenal to trounce Sunderland tomorrow and this weekend will have been about as good as it gets.

Gordon Brown is now backed deep into a corner. As Conservative Home are saying, he has been exposed for the calculating schemer that he is. If I were a betting man, I would now lay bets on a 2010 election - Gordon will leave it until the last minute because there is no way he can recover from the position he is in. That said, if the polling in target seats was truly bad, there was also no way he could call an election now; his so called supreme political brain put him into a no win situation.

I also predict a November leadership election for the Lib Dems. Chris Huhne must realise this is the only space he has to mount a challenge and halt the Lib Dems freefall.
