The announcements today and tomorrow from the government will be fun.
In the past with one-party government, (or one-effective-party as in the Lab/Co-op coalition) you had all the exciting pronouncements in one go at the start of the relevant conference week. Now with an openly talked about coalition, each side gets its hot topics to display separately.
So two weeks ago the ministers in the left side of the left-right coalition were the ones getting their special announcements out. Rolling back of the blood ban, same-sex marriage, gender-free passports, to cite the ones that caught my LGBT-centric eye. Now we get the ones the Tory ministers wanted held back til their conference for them to celebrate: so far we've got the extra money for going back to weekly bin collections.
What else will there be to delight the blue-rinse conference audience?
