In politics timing is everything. Rumours abound (here and here) of an embargoed press release showing the following Ipsos-MORI Polling breakdown (for release midnight):

• Conservative 52% (+4)
• Labour 24% (no change)
• Liberal Democrat 12% (-5)

I feel a celebratory Macallan Whisky coming on later this evening.

If this doesn't stimulate some backbone on the current Cabinet, Lord knows what will.
