The press outside Cowley Street during the Coalition negotiations

A couple of photos taken on Monday 10 May 2010 while the Coalition negotiations were going on. Suddenly the Liberal Democrats were of interest to the world's press.

As a sign that we were now an important party, a couple of gorillas in suits appeared in reception at Cowley Street to vet visitors. When I took the photo from inside the building I thought they were going to arrest me under the Official Secrets Act.
