Vince’s New Year message is a little different. It’s another of these W1A style videos where he goes completely off piste from the remarks prepared for him by his team. Which would never, ever happen in real life, obviously.

We should also remember that Vince was the lone political voice warning about the dangers of the credit crunch.
