The idea that Vince Cable might be offered the job of Chancellor of the Exchequer in a Cameron-led government stretches credulity too far.
Chief Secretary would be more like it – a much more pivotal & crucial role when it comes to cutting budgets, & therefore something of a poisoned chalice.
Michael Portillo did his ministerial reputation no harm in the role. But most of all I can see Vince Cable in the job because he always reminds me, for some reason, of Joel Barnett, & we need a new Barnett formula
