You know it's over

Do read John Rentoul's excellent piece in this morning's Indy in whiuch he writes that it is all over for the Prime Minister.

You know it is over when Nick Clegg cuts it as a figure of moral authority, and Brown is reduced to making up numbers such as £1.4bn as the cost of allowing all 36,000 Gurkhas the right to live here.

you know it is over when BBC journalists start interviewing each other about how much the Prime Minister's "authority" has been reduced.

You know it is over when black is reported as white. When everything is fitted to the template of retreat, disarray and incompetence.
