BBC News: Reports that the Election Commission will have another look at the election expenses of Energy Secretary Chris Huhne. One has to wonder how much political capital the Lib Dems are willing to pay to keep Mr Huhne in the Cabinet, from the perspective of the Deputy PM Nick Clegg its great news, a political opponent is wounded and is still in office due to the political grace of Cameron and Clegg. Does Mr Clegg want Mr Huhne back on the green backbenches where he can cause problems, or a wounded Cabinet Minister who still has the red boxes due to his leader. Thus a threat to the Coalition has been removed, a win for Clegg in many respects.
