Good week for Blair

My (admittedly quick) reading of the Hutton report's conclusions seems to bear the Sun's leak out, that Blair is in the clear. Coupled with the victory in yesterday's tuition fees' vote it has been a good week for the PM.

Assuming the tuition fees' bill now gets passed the Conservatives are in a tricky position. They obviously want to fight the election on tax cuts, or at least the prospect of tax cuts. The electorate however will obviously see the contradiction between this and their higher education policy. I bet the higher education poliicy is gone by the summer.
