Earlier this week we noted that Chris Huhne seems very keen to avoid difficult situations in order to keep his reputation intact, and protect his poorly disguised leadership ambitions. No sooner has we posted than “Hiding Huhne” had ducked out of a cabinet meeting.

Huhne in opposition
Huhne in government
Still doing better than Nick Clegg though, to be fair…
