Cable v. Satellite

[scooterscot]

The PM can sack a cabinet minister of whatever party.

Yes a cabinet minister, but that's where the line stops. Dave knows full well the lib dems would run over to the other side if he naffed them off.

I never really understood the fuss about Vince Cable. I'm not sure why he gained such a high profile

Something to do with predicting the whole doom in the first place, wasn't it?

I never really understood the fuss about Vince Cable. I'm not sure why he gained such a high profile, and he never looked like he was comfortable with the coallition.

IIRC is was in parliament about five years ago, when he warned then-chancellor Brown about his mad borrowing and spending, and Brown slapped him down with "The right honorable member was wrong before, and is wrong again".

Then right honorable member Vince was proved right.

That one action made his reputation as a pair of safe economic hands, and all of a sudden he became the nation's favourite to be chancellor.

Pointing out that Brown was a f* idiot and being proved right can make a reputation? That makes almost every sane person in Britain fit to run the economy.

Five years ago only a minority of people realised what was really going on with the economy - most of CUK and Vince Cable.

Hence Labour's third term and someone on here calling for Vince's beatification.

Pick me pick me pick me!! Oh go on, please...

Appreciate Vince was a fool but is this really as big a story as has been made out?

It's pretty big for the Media as it involves Murdock...

Cable / Galba

omnium consensū cāpax imperiī nisi imperasset

Well, seeing as how he's said he'll stay, and bearing in mind how these things usually go, I reckon he'll resign before the end of next week "to save the coalition from further embarassment".
