What a wise commentator the man is!So what should we do? One part of the answer is to cherish those politicians who really are honest and decent. It is important that this number includes David Cameron.
Top of the list, however, is the wonderful Lib Dem Treasury spokesman Vince Cable, who claimed next to nothing in allowances, bought no flats, stole no taxpayers' money and made the daily Tube journey from his home in Twickenham to Westminster. (And, of course, he got it dead right on the economy.) How we need him as our prime minister!

Peter Oborne: Vince Cable for prime minister
Peter Oborne writes in tomorrow's Daily Mail:
With there being talk of maybe there will have to be a Lab/LD coalition after the next election, why not start now and give Vince the job? Outstandingly better than the suggestion of Jack Straw in a comment on Liberal Conspiracy, and definitely better than the other suggestions over there of Charles Clarke or Alan Johnson.
ReplyDeleteWhen did they extend the "tube" to Twickenham?
