Both yesterday and today the Telegraph has reported that Gordon Brown is thinking of asking Liberal Democrats, including Vince Cable, to join the government in a major post-European elections reshuffle. Vince’s response when asked about the story on TV this morning was very robust and clear:
“I’m part of the Liberal Democrat team. We’re fighting to maximise our number of votes and seats in upcoming election,” he said.
“I’ve no interest whatever in being co-opted by a Labour government that has become, quite frankly, discredited”.

It is significant that amidst this tangled web of `M.P.s Expenses’ Vince Cable almost drove into a ditch, when he heard that Alistair Darling the Chancellor ,had not resigned for his part in being so naive,compliant and tolerant, toward `flipping’ and employing accountancy help in Cabinet.
Mt Cable suggests that at this critical time of `Recession’ banks are still not lending to businesses and British car companies are being thrown to the wolves with no strong defence to secure their jobs by Governmnet.
On this Government`s `watch’ we have seen venal scandal at the vortex of Parliament.
It all serves as a diversion from both democracy on June 4th and the biting issues that are costing jobs and livelihoods for thousands of millions of British hard pressed families.
You are well advised as a separate and growing Party in terms of positive Public recognition to steer well clear of the toxic political assets of the so called New Labour Party led by a discredited Prime Minister and Chancellor, both of whom may fall in a General Election. The Public want Frank Field ( from your Poll) as Speaker then a General Election early Autumm.
