Vince Cable

Row Z: it's where the ball went

A thought on the Vince Cable incident, as we await the election results from Oldham and Occupied Yorkshire. Obviously, there's no point hoping for principle from the Coulson government, but this doesn't mean that the civil service and the courts aren't what they usually are. And if Strictly Vince can't touch the dossier, there's an equally strong argument that Jeremy Cunt can't either, in the light of past statements. This might not matter - a prime minister trying to suck up to News International will find a way - if there wasn't an easy option available.

Vince Cable Is Still Here

So Vince Cable got caught saying he could end the coalition. The genuinely interesting point here is that, surprisingly, the coalition has failed to end Vince Cable.

This blog's been a bit quiet recently, while the coalition has been at its least stable and least principled. Apologies for that.

One thing that's emerged from the month of protest we've just seen is that the strangely disconnected quality that haunts the coalition is still here. Just as with bus lanes or free schools, they are swimming far above the seabed of administrative and political realities.
