Chris Huhne to stay on in Cancun

An update to my earlier post – Chris Huhne earlier this evening said,

Nick Clegg and I have decided the importance of the talks in Cancun mean that I have to stay here to finish the vital work we have started.

It is hugely regrettable that Ed Miliband’s Labour Party has decided to put short-term political point scoring ahead of the long-term interests of the planet. They are putting the next two days ahead of the next two generations.

These vital talks have denied me the chance to support the Coalition Government’s progressive proposals to give financial security to our world class universities sector and make the repayment system for students fairer.
