As the fallout from Clegg’s singing dominates Westminster, Vince Cable’s own positioning on the mea culpa has been forgotten. One line of CCHQ’s internal press summary for last night really sticks out. The internal blue verdict on Vince’s Newsnight appearance is stinging:
“Cable was serious [sic] roasted and further damaged the Lib Dems in an attempt to cover himself.”
No sympathy there it seems…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Yes but no but yes but no but no tuition fees.
Is that a spit roast or Sunday Roast
with respect i don t think anybody would longingly consider a spit roast with dr cable .
he s far too old for that sort of thing …
Clegg has ability and integrity but I hope Clegg leads the dems into the next election.
I can’t wait to LOL when Clegg becomes the first UK party leader to lose his deposit.
He IS some sort of deposit
Too old? Is he in the Lemon Party then?
In the spirit of my illustrious Leader (who, by the way, did not send me a get well card), I would also like to make a public apology to my constituents and members of the Liberal Democrat Party. I would like to apologise for my 46 year political career, mainly using taxpayer’s money to chase young girls for sex, especially in eastern Europe. To this end I am trying to make amends and here we have an example of it (although I don’t know what it is all about).

Can I start going back to Russia now Nick? Boaz.
No. Pervert.
A brilliant piece of political insight Handy. Boaz.
A monumental political strategy Handy, monumental.
I think this may turn out positive for Lib Dems in the end, If charity single does well then more people will here a politician say sorry and some will respect that, some may even join the Lib Dems….
I seem to be lossing my touch after the 1000 first place celebateions – back with extra concetrasion tomorow
This is what I have to say to that:

not sure I would give too much credence to CCHQs analysis of this stuff. Remind me, what was their take on the Chloe Smith/Paxo car-crash in their internal press summary?
They all “ROAST” us only as there are three of them we have to either give a hand job or take it up the arse as well and we all know which option your average LibDem would choose
Nothing average about me, you fucking bitch.
I’m top of the range.
Ooh, you sound butch! Fancy a quick one?
And the cons would be Rodger
He’s a blithering idiot, how else could he end up with an office in government unless he was a member of a bits & pieces party with so few members of parliament that are avoiding being sectioned by the slimmest of margins. Ireland had the same issues with their minor coalition partner, watching them on Vincent Brown is often like watching one flew over the cuckoo’s nest they are oblivious to sanity!
I think it would be news if the memo revealed ‘Wow! Great job by Vince’ or similar.
As it is what we have here is people who don’t like Lib Dems communicating with other people who don’t like Lib Dems giving wholly partial views about Lib Dems.
mmmmmmay I just say
I have always enjoyed a good old fashioned Hampton roasting
As Jaguars new F Type is unveiled I do have to wonder what could could have been achieved if only Bob Crow had been chief designer
It wouldnt work, would cost a fortuune to keep and have a roof made of solid bone
The famous square-wheeled Allergo? Pity nobody told Red Robbo that the square wheel should go inside the car and not on each corner.

Yes, but will Eric Joyce sign the Pledge?
Clegg o’ Pledge,
What an old confused codger Vince is.
I never trust Liberals .
They aren’t really liberal though, are they?
Fence sitters. Splinters in the bums.
CCHQ’s evening news summary is not an internal memo, its just some researchers verdict on watching newsnight. Not a leaked memo, not really newsworthy.
The lib dems will say anything to win votes.
Guido 24 hours behind my curve. Keep up Guido, and read the comments posted!
He has his Moddy Botty working flat out what more do you want
What a plonker, wants rodgering with a barge pole
He has his uses, but Vince isn’t really a fitting person to lead the Lib Dems. There are better alternatives available. He might win back some of the votes that have been lost to Labour since 2010, but that’s only because Miliband is so utterly woeful. Vince would still get a kicking at a GE.
Why is this news? We knew 18 months ago that Clegg and Co failed to keep their pledge. Clegg knew 18 months ago. What a FTP (fucking toss pot). Pathetic, moronic, patronising. And as for Cable it looks like he’s doing a one handed Vulcan mind probe and can’t find one.
Lots of people with ancestors born in York have a mental illness best described
as delusions of grandeur.This is due to the fact that York was a walled city and
incomers were not welcome which led to lots of in-breeding. This is the reason for the exceptionally large number of mental institutions in York during the early
part of the twentieth century.
Vince Cable was born in York and so were his ancestors,so it is cruel to mock him.
He is a victim of circumstances just like someone born with a disability.
And so was Guy Fawkes (the real one)
I’m sure there’ll be a full inquiry as to how a CCHQ memo fell into the hands of an independent, non-partisan and wholly unconnected website.
Given how often this site has a pop at MPs from all parties, you really are proving to us all how incredibly stupid you are.
Well done you!
I’m seriously considering adding subtitles for the hard of thinking.
er…shouldn’t that read Cable spit roasted the Fib Dems?
…Cable was serious roasted…
Hope H@rry has not been helping them out.
Why haven’t the government ever considered making the UK a tax haven?
Because Gideon wants your money, how is he going to pay for those glory projects HS2 and other such things
Why haven’t the government ever considered making the UK a tax haven??
They have (but not told anyone). Wake up at the back.
Any chance of another apology now for the minor matter of those EXPENSES problems, mr Laws?
Tax haven?
Dave, you must be a sponging:-
exile, immigrant, unmarried father, liverpudlian, husband of pregnant nigerian, dependant of a third world illegal alien, asylum seeker, worthless sh1t of somesort . . .
Delete as appropriate.
If Cable was roasted, it was as nothing compared to that ridiculous woman from UKIP on the same programme.
I can no longer stomach Newsnight, regardless of whether it’s Paxo or Krusty in the chair. Rumour has it that Brevik watched an episode immediately before he went postal.
