Chris Huhne's implosion is an immediate boost to Nick Clegg

Telegraph
"Chris Huhne’s slow implosion has immediate consequences. The first is that it immeasurably strengthens Nick Clegg. Mr Huhne posed the biggest threat to Mr Clegg’s leadership, having run him a close second in the race to succeed Ming Campbell. He had been displaying his potential for trouble by playing to the Lib Dem rank and file with attacks on the Tories and his ill-judged sally against David Cameron in Cabinet. By the end of last week however the view in No 10 was that he had overreached himself. The Lib Dem leader was beginning to feel better after a tough 10 days. His situation was looking better than many expected. Now that, as we confirm today, it turns out that the person Mr Huhne allegedly asked to take his penalty points was indeed Vicky Pryce, his situation is perilous."
