I must say that I’m rather relieved that Vince Cable is supposedly finding the coalition difficult. It was beginning to look a little too cosy, bearing in mind it’s the Tories who are the coalition partners. What is sordid is the way these revelations were obtained. It doesn’t say much for either Vince or the Daily Telegraph.
I would have expected Vince Cable to be able to recognise genuine Lib Dem activists by now, even the non-hirsute ones in proper shoes, and if he didn’t know these people wasn’t he rather unguarded in what he said? As for the Daily Telegraph sinking to the levels of the News of the World to gain information, well that’s hardly surprising I suppose, same old Tories. No wonder it’s known in some circles as the Daily Torygraph.
This episode may well have gone some way to reassuring some worried Lib Dem activists but the right-wing press has tasted blood now and will be thirsty for more. The coalition is under attack from the ‘raving Right’ as well as the ‘loony Left’, and it is the raving Right that is the more dangerous.
