At Cabinet this morning, I am told that Chris Huhne directly challenged David Cameron
and George Osborne about the claims that the No campaign have been making. He asked them both in turn, if they were going to — or could — defend them. Osborne responded by telling Huhne
that his behaviour was inappropriate and that Cabinet wasn’t the place for such disputes.
The fact that this row broke out in Cabinet shows just how badly relations within the coalition have been damaged bv the AV campaign. That Huhne is leading the anti-Tory charge even within Cabinet will also stoke the rumours about what the Energy Secretary is planning to do after Thursday’s referendum.
