Coalition partners trade blows over future austerity
The Con-Dem coalition’s collapse quickened yesterday when Tory PM David Cameron accused his Lib Dem partners of “being all over the place” economically.

The PM also made a provocative comparison between his coalition partners and Ukip, saying that both were prepared to “prop up a failing Labour government.”
