With the future UK government up in the air, the country having voted for a Hung Parliament, I received a call on Friday night from the News of the World who, like every other Sunday paper, were planning on giving masses of space to the election and subsequent jostle for power.
The coming weekend was to be an unprecedented one, with secret negotiations between all parties happening behind the scenes. I arrived at the Conservative HQ on Millbank, central London at 20.00, and ended up there (and awake) for 25 hours. The main players of the Conservatives all came and went throughout the day, David Cameron choosing to try to avoid the press in order to distance himself from the coalition talks in case they should fail.
William Hague arrives in the morning.
Future Prime Minister David Cameron leaves through the back door.
Oliver Letwin, scared of me being run over as I step into the road.
A shady looking George Osborne leaves the HQ.
