THE INDEPENDENT: Liberal Democrat and Conservative negotiations were locked in talks at the Cabinet Office in Whitehall tonight which could lead to a coalition between the two parties putting David Cameron in Number 10.
And an unconfirmed report in the Evening Standard suggested that Gordon Brown might stand down as Prime Minister as early as this evening, while the BBC reported that cases were being packed into vehicles at the rear of Downing Street.
Meanwhile, Labour hopes of a coalition deal with the Liberal Democrats appeared to be fading this afternoon, as a Cabinet minister went public with his misgivings about the idea.
Health Secretary Andy Burnham - tipped by some as a potential successor to Gordon Brown as Labour leader - said the party had to "respect" the result of last week's General Election in which Conservatives won most seats and votes. >>> Press Association | Tuesday, May 11, 2010
