Sir Vince Cable: 50 Years of British Politics
from The Pulse of Power
In this second instalment of The Pulse of Power, I explore Sir Vince Cable’s extraordinary 50-year political odyssey: Glasgow councillor in his twenties, special advisor to John Smith, Business Secretary in the Coalition, Lib Dem leader, and now the elder statesman who refuses to fade away.What You’ll Learn- The Three-Party Education: What Labour in the 70s, the SDP dream, and the Lib Dems taught him about the fragile centre-left fault line that still defines British politics.- Coalition Confessions: The inside story of the 2010 deal, tuition fees betrayal, and why he still believes the Lib Dems had no real choice.- Quick-Fire Verdict: Keir Starmer gone by next year? Rachel Reeves too? Kemi Badenoch underrated? Sir Vince doesn’t hold back.From surviving seven election attempts to dancing on Strictly and everything in between, Sir Vince Cable remains one of the sharpest, most unflinching voices in British public life.The Pulse of Power is produced by Urban Podcasts.
