So it turns out that when Cameron was giving his red-faced speech about having been clubbed with lead piping in the library, Osborne had already known about the budget corrections for a few days but had failed to tell Cameron, hoping that he could already haggle a few hundred million pounds off the total sum before it went public. Worse for his credibility, Miliband "also landed a decisive blow by showing Nicky Morgan, then a Treasury minister, wrote a letter describing the adjustments as a priority in March". Cameron's most embarrassing moment was probably when 'fellow' Tory and former cabinet minister Ken Clarke publicly expressed his sympathy to Cameron "over his ignorance about a bill that the Treasury and Foreign Office must have known about for five months".

He's looking a lot less tough now.
