Earlier today David Cameron and Nick Clegg appeared together to announce a £9.4bn investment in the railways of England and Wales.
Both are hoping this will help to provide some stability to a government rocking from a tumultuous last seven days, with Cameron forced to admit that there are ‘profound areas of disagreement’ in the coalition.
While that’s stating the obvious, it will be interesting to see how long this new wave of unity will last, as this is not the first time both leaders have been forced to put on a united front.
In the most recent local elections after both the Lib Dems and the Conservatives lost control of several councils across the country, both Cameron and Clegg had no choice but to appear and say we are united and need to re-focus our attentions on the economy.
The question is how many more times can the coalition take a hit and have to reinforce this idea of a united front before we don’t believe them anymore.
