They have gone to work hours after finally putting together their historic Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition Government.

Mr Cameron, 43, has become the youngest premier since Lord Liverpool almost 200 years ago, and the first Conservative in No 10 since John Major departed 13 years ago.

Mr Clegg has been appointed Deputy Prime Minister, serving as one of five Lib Dem ministers in the new administration.

The Prime Minister promised there would be “hard and difficult work” ahead and said his administration would focus on “rebuilding family, rebuilding community, above all, rebuilding responsibility in our country”. >>> Andrew Porter, Political Editor | Wednesday, May 12, 2010
