Churchill hardly slept, so I'm not sure that's likely
He did imbibe enormous quantities of brandy and fine wine, though. We have a long and glorious history of drinkers in politics - Heseltine is being discussed in some parts of the net (ok, the Guardian's newsblog) as someone whose ambititions were thwarted by a bit too much booze.
Anyway, Charlie appears to be sunk - I really hope it isn't a takeover by the neo-liberal cabal, or they can kiss my vote goodbye. Unfortunately it looks like it is - follow these names over the next few days:
David Laws, Paul Marshall, Vincent Cable, Nicholas Clegg, Edward Davey, Chris Huhne, Susan Kramer, Mark Oaten and Steve Webb.
Nice to see Jenny Tonge letting her old problems with Charlie lie and, er, putting the boot in while he's down. There's class.
