Cable - Stripped of Power but in the Cabinet

Telegraph: Reports on how the powers of the Business Secretary Vince Cable have been curtailed due to his unguarded comments that he was at War with the Murdoch Broadcasting Empire. Any other Secretary of State would have gotten the chop but Cable is a political shield for Coalition Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Mr Cable is now a lot weaker, any future walk out of the Cabinet by Cable has been blunted by this character weakness as shown by Dr Cable. After this event the Murdoch Empire will get what it wants in broadcasting terms, and it will be all down to Vince Cable and his unguarded comments.

Winter Fuel Allowance , reduced or scrapped - Vince Cable

Telegraph: Reports on more damaging comments by Dr. Vince Cable the Business Secretary, the Secretary State has stated that he thinks the Coalition PM David Cameron will try to reduce or scrap the winter fuel allowance for old age pensioners. Someone from 10 Downing Street should be send to handle Dr Cable when he talks to people, saying the above to strangers who happen to be undercover reports shows a naivety beyond measure, it’s the Lib Dems that want to scrap the winter fuel allowance for richer pensioners, the Conservative Party under David Cameron has stated that all pensions will get the winter fuel allowance. Nick Clegg the DPM should have a word with his Liberal Democrat colleague, something along the line of SHUT UP!

The UK Coalition Government - Inside Tensions

BBC News: Reports on comments by the Business Secretary Dr. Vince Cable that if pushed he could bring down the Coalition Government. This will be music to the left wing media, starting with the BBC and down to the Guardian, the political left is looking to bring down the Coalition, these unguarded comments by Dr Cable suggest that Liberal Democrats don’t get the fact yet that they are in a Coalition Government, the comments of a Cabinet Minister have consequences. One can see 10 Downing Street rolling its eyes on these comments, but he is a Liberal Democrat and thus cant be fired, but can be replaced in the future during a Cabinet reshuffle with a new Liberal Democrat.
