Why the lib-dems are shit

[Ptolemy]

Though Cable said he would do no pacts or deals with either Labour or the Conservatives, he had some praise for Philip Hammond in his battles with hardline Brexiters in the cabinet, calling the chancellor a “political adult”.

“You’ve got Boris Johnson in short trousers, and Dr Fox in nappies,” said Cable. “In that company he deserves some qualified support.”

Says it all really - yellow Tory. There should be no co-operation with anyone on the Conservative front benches.

Vince Cable named Lib Dem leader as no other candidate emerges

Just the right man for the post. Oh wait, he already sold that off...

 

[butchersapron]

He was the only one to both predict and vote for the electoral destruction of the little shit-rump he now proudly leads.

But, but he is the wisest man in British politics.

The thing I've found it hard to get over is just how much he reminds me of San the Eagle from the Muppets...

That's uncanny.

That's uncanny.

Yes, except for the eyes, which seem like they have been taken from somewhere else and glued on.

I am optimistic about the party’s future. We reached our nadir in 2015, but under Farron we had a huge upsurge in party members, bringing a lot of enthusiasm and fresh ideas for the new leader to build on. There’s a huge opportunity for change in British politics at the moment, with the marked division between left and right politics leaving a space for a party with solid centre ground ideals to offer an alternative.

All that the Lib Dems need to do is keep on with their current line.

I think that the party is at a critical point in its history. We are operating in a political environment where there is a huge void in the centre ground. Labour have lurched left and the Conservatives are so far right that Liam Fox made it into the cabinet. The opportunity to be the only party taking a sensible stance on both economic and social issues is there for the taking - whether the reserved politeness of Mr Cable is the right profile to take that remains to be seen.

Look at Farron in the back there, he has to be the least photogenic person in British political history.

Eying his future

Eying his future

He looks like he wants to kill them!

 

[butchersapron]

Just about the only time he's got popular support.

I doubt Farron would approve

I'm sure a fair few Lib Dem MP's know all about "gaping holes".

Let me know when you want to empty it.

LOL and ewww!

That is so delusional, so out of touch with reality, that it's almost scary.
Have they REALLY not noticed that the key political phenomenon of the past few years has been the collapse of the centre?

In a way, it's a lot like the story of our Saviour

Just been reminded in update to the Employment Tribunal fees thread (see last page of thread) that Cable was a complete shitcunt about introducing the fees during the Tory 'coalition'

Cable backed the fees when they were introduced in 2013, saying they would make Britain more “enterprise-friendly”, and said changes would “help ensure that people who work hard and do the right thing are rewarded”.

Guardian source for rest of what's actually a good news story today ... Cabkle's subsequrnt wittering and handr#wringing about his/Lib Dem requests for a 'review' if the new Employment Tribunal system actually makes things far worse. Lib Dems are Tories, always have been

Glad to see them repeating their successful tactics from the election.
