    Who's first to crack?

    Bookies have already published the odds on who they think will be the first cabinet minister to resign. Since the CUK massive is always accurate in their predictions, who do you think will go first?

        I've already stuck a tenner on Vince to go first - he's running a ministry that he has campaigned to scrap, and is stuck with the job of explaining maths to George Osborne.

        Can't be much fun.

            Lord Ashcroft put a block on it, as Cable has some very interesting views on what needs to be done.

            Cable didn't even get banking reform, because the banks were too scared of him having some power over them.

              Interesting. TBH, Clegg should have held out for Vince to be Chancellor.

              Do you have a linky?

              Not that I don't believe you but have tuned out of politics since the second leaders debate.

                Vince on the future of the DTI:

                Our proposal to abolish the DTI is not just about saving money but because we understand the frustration business has with a meddling, centralising, over regulating government. Its abolition is the largest act of deregulation.

                Looks like Cable is due to get banking reform...

                First coalition cracks emerge as Cable takes back seat to Osborne on banks

                Oops, no he's not.

                Is Vince Happy?

                Can't find the one I read about Ashcroft at the moment - will look tomorrow at some stage, if I remember.
