No.10 rocked by secret love affair

[AtW]

"David Cameron has held crisis talks at Downing Street after being told of allegations of a sensational love affair which has potentially significant political implications for him.

For legal reasons, The Mail on Sunday cannot disclose the identities of the people involved or any details of the relationship – even its duration – other than that they are middle-aged figures. The affair has now concluded.

But this newspaper can report that when aides told Mr Cameron the identities of the alleged lovers he was ‘stunned’, and, according to sources, ‘immediately realised the importance of the story’.

The Prime Minister and his aides also discussed the possible fallout should details of the affair become public – and how such disclosure could ‘blow out of the water’ any major political set pieces planned by No 10.

One senior source told this newspaper last night: ‘This revelation is dynamite. None of us could believe it when we first heard it. Then we just thought, “What a complete mess”.’"

WTF is going there?!?!

Oh dear, Samantha won't be proud

I don't understand why Cameron would be 'stunned' if they are not in the Cabinet. Has anyone left to 'spend more time with his family' lately? Maybe someone is about to come out of the closet?

Family men having gay affair? Still difficult to see how it could be such a big deal.

Yep. Can't work it out and Google won't co-operate. Usually the injunctions only apply in the UK?

It's a slow news day and if it's all made up there'll be no-one to sue the OM anyway.

It's a slow news day but other papers have actual news in them.

According to Guido Fawkes the names of the couple are so shocking that no one on Twitter has guessed them yet

So that rules out Cameron himself, Osborne, Hague, Pickles, among others.

Maybe it's Theresa May and the Russian Attache, and we're in for a rerun of the Profumo scandal

It has to be something kinky.

I'm thinking something along the lines of Nick Soames and Eric Pickles. And lard...

It has to be something inconceivable. A bit of Tory on Lib Dem lesbianism or something. My money is on Sam Cam & Mrs Clegg.
