Senior Lib Dem refuses to endorse Campbell

Where would we all be without the Indy's You Ask the Questions? This morning we've been given the delight of Vince Cable, the Lib Dems Treasury spokesman. One highlight was him admitting that he's boring. However, as with most interviews it's what he doesn't say that's interesting.

Specifically he avoided endorsing Ming Campbell, and when pushed on whether he regretted not running for leader himself he sidestepped the question. When he was then asked about Campbell's decision to drop PR as a requirement for any form of coalition government he sidestepped again and failed to endorse the policy.

The rumblings against Ming Campbell go on then, omission is a wonderful thing in politics isn't it? Oh yes, he said he would have a leadership bid in 2012 too - although he was probably joking because he'd be a really old fart by then.
