David Cameron’s father Ian has had a stroke and the PM is currently en route to France to be with his family. After holiday and paternity leave it seems Clegg will be minding the shop a little longer. Last time he did PMQs he managed to substantially alter British foreign policy concerning the war and was slapped down. Even against Jack Straw, who put in a dire performance, he could only muster a  no score-draw. Presumably Harman will be yielding to her deputy again today…

Interestingly it will be Clegg will be taking the brunt of the Coulson heat. The LibDems stuck it to him during the election. Watch him change his tune now…
