He’d better hope they’re not busy.’</p> <p>For his bid to succeed Huhne will need to rely on former political friends, many of whom have deserted him. But one name he can count on is that of Danny ‘The Rodent’ Alexander. </p> <p>‘That slag owes me big,’ said Huhne ‘He’ll be providing the getaway car - then it’s foot down on the accelerator and away from here as quickly as possible while respecting the speed limit at all times.’ </p> <p>‘He was a shoe-in really,’ Huhne added . ‘I needed someone I could trust with a clean driving licence’ </p>
