The Prime Minister has revealed that plans for a tax break for married couples will be introduced "shortly" in a move to head off a revolt by Tory backbenchers. The policy was in the Conservative manifesto, but will face Liberal Democrat opposition.
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has previously ridiculed the idea of a tax break for married couples as "patronising drivel that belong in the Edwardian age".
The coalition agreement spells out that Liberal Democrat MPs can abstain on a plan to recognise marriage in the tax system.
The Democratic presidential candidate may also have shown his cards on his choice of running mate.
