The Barclays paper, the torygraph, hesitated to disclose the full details of conversation in the first place.

They kept it in reserve to keep the story going - it is stupid to show all the cards.

The libs really are looking like a party who do not know what to with the small bit of power they have been given. Could you imagine the disaster if they had a full majority?

I agree with you on that one. Always easier to pontificate on policy if you don't expect to actually have to act on it. (Not like us on CUK do obviously)

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.

Yes, just being right about one thing, doesn't make you infallible in everything, despite many people thinking the contrary.

Blanchflower has been elevated to the same level. Got one thing right, so now he's seen as an economic god by lefties as he disagrees with the tories.

I think Clegg will move to the tories when this collaboration breaks down. Which it will eventually.

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

It's a family feud -

Ugh the thought of that evil Murdoch controlling so much makes me cringe.

Mr Cable sounded very eager to show off in front of those female young sounding reporters

Quite, I'm suprised The Sun didn't go with 'Lib Dem MP fancies women shocker'

[wobbegong]

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".

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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