Speaking of sinkings, Vince Cable torpedoed Gordon Brown

in Prime Minister’s Questions today.

‘…the Prime Minister’s remarkable transformation from Stalin to Mr Bean in the past few weeks, creating chaos out of order.’

Funny, accurate, telling and a big hole below the waterline. There should be work afoot in the Cowley Street basement to splice some of Vince Cable’s DNA for wit, intelligence and political nous into whoever wins the Lib Dem leadership election.

The prime ministerial bilge pumps should be overwhelmed soon.
