George Osborne will go when he's had a proper look at the books. Not even the Irish aristocracy are used to losing money that fast.

I'm going to steal that to use elsewhere.

No she married that priest turned copper off of Lewis.

What the f**K does that mean?

Chris Huhne - Nuclear Power stations will frighten away all the beardies.

It looks worth putting a punt on Liam Fox, he's the most right-wing of the Conservatives.

Vince on the future of the DTI:



Banking reform needs the full support of government | guardian.co.uk

Looks like Cable is due to get banking reform...

First coalition cracks emerge as Cable takes back seat to Osborne on banks

Oops, no he's not.

Is Vince Happy?

Can't find the one I read about Ashcroft at the moment - will look tomorrow at some stage, if I remember.

Ta, will take a look-see.

Interesting. TBH, Clegg should have held out for Vince to be Chancellor.

Do you have a linky?

Not that I don't believe you but have tuned out of politics since the second leaders debate.

Vince on the future of the DTI:

Our proposal to abolish the DTI is not just about saving money but because we understand the frustration business has with a meddling, centralising, over regulating government. Its abolition is the largest act of deregulation.

Lord Ashcroft put a block on it, as Cable has some very interesting views on what needs to be done.

Cable didn't even get banking reform, because the banks were too scared of him having some power over them.

Absolute travisty that Cable isn't Chancellor.

I've already stuck a tenner on Vince to go first - he's running a ministry that he has campaigned to scrap, and is stuck with the job of explaining maths to George Osborne.

Can't be much fun.

Bookies have already published the odds on who they think will be the first cabinet minister to resign. Since the CUK massive is always accurate in their predictions, who do you think will go first?

Poll to follow.

Well as long as MF isn't running the book, I'll have a fiver on Vince Cable.
