AJ4PM: Straws in the wind

On a day when Alan Johnson’s interview didn't get the attention it deserved, it is worth noting:

1. The tensions between between Brown and Darling;

2. The Independent’s latest “poll of polls” where John Curtice has this to say:

David Cameron must still be concerned that he has still not ‘sealed the deal’ with sufficient voters so that Labour could not at least claw its way back to hung-parliament territory.

3. That David Miliband has made an unexpected trip to Berlin; and

4. Labour’s female MPs are not happy over the proposed changes to childcare benefits.

Just small matters that are worth keeping an eye on.
