+ + + Rumour: Cable Sacked/Quitting/Dithering + + +
Guido is four hours into lunch but word is going round that Cable might not be long for this world. Politically that is.
He’s in a meeting with Clegg…
UPDATE: Mr Cable has just walked into Downing Street. Looking as miserable as ever.
UPDATE II: Last tango in Whitehall. Seems Cable held the rose in his lip and bit too deeply.
UPDATE III: Corks popping in Tory circles.
UPDATE IV: Seems the nuclear option bombed… or did it, is he “un-fireable”?
UPDATE V: Grovelling apology at the eleventh hour? It’s chaos… Guido is hearing twenty different rumours, either way Cable is deeply wounded and set to be demoted. BBC says he won’t be waltzing away, not that Nick Robinson’s record at calling things has been up to scratch recently.
Oh dear , Back to the dancing vince
He can go back to the Labour party.
How incredibly stupid he must be. DC has no choice in the matter and he has to go, but my guess is he wants him to tender his resignation rather than give him the push. I hope they use this as the means to get David Laws back.
I hope he gets sacked. As for the expense fiddling Laws, he should be sacked/recalled, if he was in the commercial world he would be gone. Clegg and Cameron need to start acting as leaders and act on their promises before the election. I am already sick of the socialist Tory party in coalition with Lie Dems.
Clegg now wants juvenile asylum seekers freely living in houses paid for by the British tax payer not detention centres. Why fck should tax payers pay for this and their legal bills etc. What are they going to do if their asylum is refused? How are we going to find them amongst the mass of immigrants? I am sick of MPs thinking we can pay for the ills of the world. UK PLC is broke, wake up!
Deport asylum seekers ASAP. Sort out immigration, fck the expensive EU and get out of Afghanistan. In these dire economic times it really is not hard to make decisions to save money for the country for the deserving people of this country. Wikileaks showed how the Americans thought we could not cope with mass immigration policy of Blair. Yet lefty Cable wants more- I would sack him for this alone.
It is also about time the Probation Service talked to Social Service to get criminals on CPOs to clear streets and put something back in society for the expense and misery they have caused others. Why not make them help the elderly and vulnerable in society under close supervision. Drugies are still able to collect their state free methadone, then they are also able to clear streets and act as runners for the vulnerable. Ken Clark needs a wake up call to get criminals working for the country and put something back rather than take, take, take. What are the consequences for being a criminal? Living in a cell being fed three/four meals a day watching TV. Their life style in prison is better than they would have at their state free home. There needs to be consequences for their actions.
Cameron was adamant he was going to scrap the Human Rights Act- when???? I would like an election ASAP.
Tories are not going to let this one go. Vince was right.
Why Laws? He’s soiled goods, the guy is a crook.
Do you really want him to do a Mandy?
Great advert for responsible Tories, not.
Setup job no,couldn’t be who would set St Vince de sat Cable up and him talkiing indiscriminatly to somebody he doesn’t know,no,looking up to the sky we have a full moon must be something to do with that.
Yes, Cable – Gordon Brown’s old friend – who framed the student tuition fees regulations – can now go back to where his heart is – with the very people who brought in tuition fees in the first place.
Bring back David Laws.
Yes…he can join the Millipedes….both former Environmental Secretaries – whose outstanding work in saving the planet – by fortnightly bin collections, charging for plastic bags and introducing plastic windmills in every garden…has now ended global warming so effectively it has now gone into reverse to create Global Freezing…..
All Hail to King Ed Head!!
Cable under undue strain will………………..
Scowl a lot?
Yes, he has to go.
A simple choice for Cameron – just bring in David Laws.
Why Laws? He’s soiled goods, the guy cannot even get his bloody expenses in order.
Do you really want him to do a Mandy?
Great advert for responsible Tories, not.
Problem is it has to be a Lib Dem.
Who else is there?
Why another LibDem? Am not up to speed with the numbers / politics game in a coalition.
Why not a mini-shuffle and get a Tory in to the position, move a few underlings somewhere else to facilitate this.
Just imagine what Vince would have blurted out if the two female reporters had offered him a blow job….
Lumpy cock-cheese probably.
Thanks, jgm2, coffee everywhere.
Christmas is a time to splash out on people.
Dust and fluff by now….
Try mine..please try mine
The man’s a fuckwit.
Cable is a sanctimonious old twat who always looks as if he is swallowing a nice fresh lemon. He cannot survive this and should go directly to an old peoples’ home without collecting his £200.
Cable to resign from January 1st, so Laws can be cleared before then and take the job.
I guess Dave will have to give Old Vinny’s resignation scoop to Al JaBeeBa to prove that he isn’t in thrall to Murdoch (any of them)!
Clegg sack Saint Vincent?
Nah, retirement due to health issues, more like…
Perhaps Clegg was a party to Vince’s war against Murdoch.
You mean him being a senile old twat?
Wasnt Vince a socailist anyway ????
He sure was Billy, He wanted to go into coalition with Lieber after the last election. What does that tell you?
He is as bonkers as brown ?
He agreed with Gordon.
Nah, but he does have ‘seniors’ issues.
Good riddance to him. He was over-hyped anyway,
Over Hyped???
He was nothing but hype.
He has to resign, anyone who would talk so candidly with two complete strangers on maters of such importance is not fit to hold High office. Any foreign power would view him as ideal honey trap material.
Mike Ha-ha-handycock has not resigned yet!
Is Guido shagging Laura K?
I hear Clegg is talking to Vince Cable at the moment

No.
He lives in fear of Mrs Fawkes temper … And her BIG frying pan!
Lucky Guido if he is.
good riddance to the hypocritical lying c nut
Adam Boulton saying Cable will resign tonight.
Cable will be laid tonight?
Cable laid…. Harman Banger… I’m missing out here.
“Guido is four hours into lunch ”
Thats one big fuckin lunch Guido .
Thirsty man apparently.
Expect another ‘This blog is hungover’ thread tomorrow.
He’s rumoured to be in Ireland, and they don’t like to rush these things over there.
“Sure, an’ is dis Tuesday lunch or have we got to Wednesday lunch?”
“To be sure, I can’t remember. We’d best have another while we work it out.”
Reminds me of Derek and Clive…
“I was having my Wednesday 9 o’clock wank…”
“Morning or evening wank?”
“Oh, evening…”
Could that be why he is such a fat bastard?
(not having a go..I’m a fat bastard too!)
Thats one big fucking gut!
I have done nothing wrong. What I have done is entirely sensible. I considered the situation and have acted entirely properly. My conduct has been without fault and this is why it is right and proper that I am sacked, a conclusion which I fully support and have always supported.
Cable to be made to shovel the snow at Heathrow.
they should make him transport minister – he is obviously very good at digging holes.
So he wants to test his theory that he can bring down the government? Deluded fool, but that’s one less LibDem bell end in the cabinet.
His replacement will be David ‘£40 grand ex’es for boyfriend’ Laws. So the quality of parasite in government, remains stubbornly high.
La la la la! I’m not listening!
tee hee!
toodle-pip. What ho.
But no total shortage of bell ends though
Oh I hate this hounding him out – it’s Christmas – poor man was trying to be charming – i hope this isn’t the start of a round of ‘gaffs’
Perhaps it was the Christmas spirit wot dun it.
No doubt he will be embraced by the BBC for his charismatic intellectuality and 20/20 hindsight.
Lib Dems are just not meant to be in Government.
The Lib Dems are where all those who could not shake their student politics in adult life go because they know, under normal circumstances, that there is no chance of them ever having to enact their political beliefs & actually balance the books.
So, the thief & serial fraudster David Laws is welcomed back into rusty Daves big gay tent. Whoopee – another tax payer looting failing upwards.
Bill Cash for PM !!!!!!
Would this be an exclusive from the DMReporter twitter account?
Cable goes from Saint Vince to Mr Has Bean.
More like Mr Bean
Fucking sweet. Xmas has come early. Past time that muppet commie twat was sacked.
I blame Nick
I agree with Dave.
Imagine Vince Cable departing via the back door, stating:
I want to spend more time with my dancing partner.
Cable is a self important egotistical c unt and always has been.
Ha ha! Fuck him!
Well Vince, how’s that “War on Rupert” hopey, changey thing working out for you?
Tonight i will be a fork.
Vince is a leading light.He has utmost standing and must remain in post.
Vince is a street-light?
I bought cable a plastic bag and a cable tie for christmas,
hope he uses them correctly.
All he needs then,is a blood orange and it’s happy days.
I take it the ‘Cable’ tie is big enough for a turkey
I bet he’ll cross over to Labour.
They won’t want him, they think he’s a c*nt too….
And this would de-bar him from Labour how?
Labour is like a giant c*unt convention.
We most certainly are not, we’re..
No, you’re right, we are.
But we’re a New Generation [tm] now. Not the old lot.
Mad Hattie Harman’s curiously cavenous front bottom???
So that’s why there’s and echo in here..here..here..here
He can’t, or rather he could but it would do him no good.
He’s completely fucked himself over.
He can’t stay in the government because he criticised it, yet he can’t criticise it because he’s said he’s proud of the government’s work.
Don’t worry. He’s a politician. It will present no problem to hold contradictory opinions simultaneously.
Good job this happened after the tuition fees vote.
Surely even Cable isn’t that stupid. He wanted to get out before the next imminent financial crash hits this dysfunctional shithouse of a country. Then he’ll just sit back and laugh his cock off.
There is another view here http://cork-richardrant.blogspot.com/
Before I nip off to the gym, I’d just like to say that Cable is a tetchy little self-important rat faced bastard who can fuck off and get a column at The Guardian.
Now, that is a blank sheet of paper.
so there’s a job going then?
David Laws likes re-entry.
The only thing he’s managed to bring down is his time in power and his reputation (whatever was left of it)
Silly old fart…
Told you he was fucked – nah nah nah nahna! Can I collect my £200 and pas GO please?
Labour are now sticking the knife in him. Saying govt. Can have no confidence in him and that he should step aside.
Wonderful!
Can I have a job?
No, only a jobbie
OK, not Mr Cable’s finest hour – but hold on, it’s one small indiscretion in comparison against his major achievements.
If by ‘major achievements’ you mean ‘major fuck-ups’ then you’re quite correct.
Let’s not forget the transformatory power he displayed when leading, albeit temporarily, the Liberal Democrat party and the almost gravitational influence he’s had over coalition policy.
Here is a comprehensive list of all of my major achievements.
Pretty impressive you will have to admit.
More than I thought.
Lord Razzall – staggeringly pathetic defense on bbc
Cable has to go, and not replaced by a Lib Dem. They’ve blown it. A party not ready for govt
I agree with my noble Lord. An upstanding member if ever there was one.
Im Sorry but both my noble colleagues Lords Razzell and Penthouse are members of the dead tree Porn club. I am the future.
First Foxtrot now Oscar – good riddance
Yet another sad old man falls for two pretty undercover journos.
Bet they “made their excuses and left”, as the old NOTW tag line has it.
If Cable had any integrity he would have resigned by now. As usual he’s oblivious to everything but his own ego.
Standby for a quick turn around by Labour if they manage to persuade him to rejoin them. He will suddenly become the greatest economist ever born, they will play to his large ego.
Shows that not just the Russians use Honey Traps.
Wouldn’t be surprised. Not surprised at all.
Cable joining Labour would be a fantastic Christmas present – even Labour voters couldn’t fail to see how compromised he now is. Maybe they’d even join the dots and see how well he would fit in with Labour…
I think you underestimate the sheer fucking stupidity and tribalism of most Labour voters.
Told you he was fucked………
Typical Lib Dems, though.
Bang on endlessly about their CND credentials and the first hint of war they take the nuclear option.
LOL
Bravo!
Telegraph discredited
Cable out of the cabinet
Cameron must think Xmas has come early!
http://www.penelopeironstone.com/CSAtalkDrStrangelove.jpg
what a shame we can’t post photos (actually, thinking of most comments, scratch that…), cause here’s the one for this story: Dr Strangelove!
Breaking News!
East coast main line
also having trouble with their Cable !
I wish someone would put 30000 volts through Vince.
‘Nuclear option’ indeed!
If brain matter were gunpowder the c unt wouldn’t have enough to blow his hat off.
Just thinking – maybe Vince wasn’t the only minister set up by a couple of giggly girls posing as constituents. There might be a lot more embarrassing recorded material out there.
Tonight I am planning to be a barn owl and swoop around a bit.
That’s OK, you can nibble mine if you like
It’s about time our politicians grew some and stood up – instead of cowing to the media – amazing as it sounds, there are some of us who live outside the Westminster village
Watching Sky and the Beeb you would think they were elected by us
Way to go Vince
OH NO, the coalition will collapse!
Bet he wishes he was gay, the other shirt lifters wouldn’t have been caught like this.
Would have been male journos….Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Richmond is a Nuclear Free Borough AGAIN!! Liberal claptrap. Vince Cable, failed, must try harder.
Vince is a bit of a dumpfuck !!! , I mean why else would a fit woman start talking to him about policy , Unless he knew what he was doing ?
Vince Cable to stay in cabinet but to shift jobs.
Source: Sky News.
Laura K agrees:
then it must be true
Oh fuck! That makes Dave and Clegg look so weak.
quite the reverse I think, now we have three prepared to put two fingers up to the media
Bollocks!
Cable is a lose cannon. Talking about nuking the coalition. He’s a fucking liability and Dave should have ordered Clegg to kick out the door.
They won’t want him on the back benches either.
Possibly a reshuffle or an unfortunate accident methinks.
Breaking News Cable to STAY !
after a meeting with Call me Spineless and Clegg
Now, now Gordon, don’t be ridiculous. Time for your medicine.
BBC says Cable not quitting.
Rupe & Foxified Sky?
Or Vince “Capt Mannering” Cable?
Surely the dancing OAP each and every time.
(And that Coulson chap is a bloody fifth columnist.)
But Vince can have my job !!! Wait, Vince, wait !!!!!!!!
Been fiddling with his tactical nuke a little too much and now it’s gone and exploded in his trousers
“It’s a big, big thing.”
Too big for hery tiny little pussy.
I wonder if she showed him a picture of her stroking it?
That’s not what the Tottie from the Telegraph says…
Talk about making a rod for your own back
Loads of ammo for Labour here
Cameron and Clegg
you are acting just like Brown where “The right honourable C*nt did nothing wrong ”
and as for you and Clegg being desperate to get Laws back in government
you really do know how to piss people off dont you Dave
He is a crooked little arse bandit and should NEVER be allowed near parliament again
what happened to “We will make it easier for voters to hold their MP’s to account ?
Another Coalition LIE !
It is cast iron he will stay in his position but lose powers.
Nuclear to TNT
DEFCON 5
Has Peston been arrested for handling stolen goods yet?
Peston’s Christmas present to his friends Gordon and Mandy hasn’t worked out as he thought.
O/T Shocking !!!!!

I bet she is thinking
PHEW !
Thank fuck i’m not white !
Business as usual for our cultural enrichers Billy.
Cable on the wire
now a buried Cable
Great, so we’ve still got our man at the heart of government then?
Cable being reshuffled is the best result for Labour.
He’s a wounded animal and will be hounded to death (political if not actual).
Cameron and Clegg not only shown to be personally weak and cowardly but their position shown to be exposed.
Cable will gradually be frozen out and will step down within a few months, a broken man.
True. Weak performance from Cameron and Clegg.
Cameron decides to show the world what a limp dick he is, once again.
Tonight I will be the crossbow cannibal.
Cameron says Cable comments were “inappropriate and unacceptable” but still won’t fire him.
Mrs Dale is blogging again:
http://www.totalpolitics.com/blogs/index.php/2010/12/21/is-cable-s-goose-cooked
he can’t resist posting more shite
Exposes the Telegraph’s agenda nicely.
I think it boils down to
Cameron : He has to go !
Clegg If he goes so does your coalition !
Clegg wont have many friends at the moment and to a lot of Glib’s that would be it !
Maybe even get Vince to chalange him for leader + End of Dave’s Dream
Now the BBC is reporting that Cable will stay on but all media matters will pass to John Hunt’s Media Ministry.
I am disappointed at the shallowness of some of the remarks on here and at the TV commentators like Adam Boulton (who salivated over the youth and attractiveness of the two people posing as constituents to entrap Cable).
Not least, it appears that for many it is totally unacceptable for Assange to be handed private emails that he did not acquire himself and publish them. To the same people it is entirely acceptable for the Telegraph to obtain, by false representation of themselves, private comments and then publish them.
Of course, Cable was wrong to forget his position and should not have made the comments that he did. It was wrong because a minister responsible for initiating a legal process should hide his personal views, pretend he doesn’t have any and maintain the charade that he is neutral to the process.
Fortunately, many people share Cable’s concern on the ever increasing control of all media outlets by one individual. This includes most of the labour party spokesmen who are now putting politics before principle on this issue.
Even more people will like Cable’s bluntness. And he will not lose respect for this -except in the corporate village of Westminster.
What seems like a disaster will long term help rather than worsen the rather hopeless LibDem position. A row over one of their leading figures being bluntly honest, however unwise, will play out in their favour.
Of course, Sky’s politico’s are, not surprisingly, totally commendatory. I wonder why?
Of fuck off you pompous hoon, Cable is a busted flush, a phoney, a mendacious and vanity driven fool. He is driven by petty narcissism and envy. That he has made it into government, is a mystery, that he has achieved high office, a miracle of misjudgement, that he is still there, a sick joke.
Was he sacked you fuckwitted retard? Then shut the fuck up.
In your dreams !
Cable is toast .Labour are queuing up to get in the papers over the next few days just watch and squirm as they try to defend the indefensible
untill they can take no more and he is persuaded to jump
and of course we dont know what else the under preforming pillock has said to them
“Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water”
Fuck-off beeboid scum! Muroch’s control of the media is nothing compared to the hegmonic left-wing influence of the BBC and it’s National free TV, World service, National and local radio, free internet services has on broadcast news.
Murdoch’s online papers are behind a paywall for one thing.
The main difference is that News Corp only survives if people CHOOSE to pay for it. Where as, we all are forced to pay for the BBC licence fee, under threat of criminal prosecution.
This is another attempt at deliberate misdirection by the left and their media cohorts.
“Let’s all blame the evil Murdoch for damaging media plurality” when the elephant in the room is the influence of the grotesque BBC and the way it is funded.
Hear hear!
Just because he’s old, Tory and bigoted doesn’t mean he is wrong !
“commendatory”?
No. I meant Sky was being totally condemnatory. I blame the snow.
Adam Boulton has just said on sky
They really are desperate to get David Laws back in government
the parliamentry committee
is reall dragging it’s feet in Clearing David Laws name
So it’s already a done deal is it ? What have you heared Adam ?
Just on these thousands of people waiting for hours with no guarantee of a Euro star train seat
could they not get a train down to dover jump on a ferry and catch a French train on the other side ?
not once have any news stations said the sea is frozen over and the ferries can’t sail ?
just a thought !
It sounds like rehearsals for his forthcoming TV appearance, “Strictly Dancing with nobodies”……
You think he’s staying in, get kicked out, in out in out, shake it all about.
Did I hear what you said? “sh1t creek “. Interesting!
Just get rid of him – totally useless
It’s about time people realised that he is a measly mouth shifty eyed leftie – tell him to go to Labour where he is at home
Tell him to join the leftie Labour party that’s where he belongs
My mate says Vince Cable ate out Thora Hird’s K-U-N-T in the bogs at the BBC.
he’s been sacked!! he’s been sacked !! he’s been Hahahahahahahahaha!!
