Business Secretary Vince Cable has raised the prospect of the Coalition government breaking up before the election, during a fringe event at the Lib Dem conference. Earlier he attacked the Conservatives as "a nasty party which has reverted to type"
There was embarrassment for the Liberal Democrats on the first day of their annual conference when a crib-sheet of lines for their MPs to take in media interviews was inadvertently emailed to journalists.
MPs were reminded that they should say that the party met for conference "in a confident mood" and had "a strong record of achievement in Government". They were told to say that Labour "cannot be trusted to build a stronger economy", while the Tories "on their own can't build a fairer society".
The Lib Dem conference just wouldn't be the same without Vince being Vince. He was on fine form, laying into the Tories at every turn
The leader is safe (by and large). Vince is on message (mostly). And the storm clouds in Glasgow are meteorological (rather than political).
