Lib Dem conference: Vince Cable says Tory Cabinet colleagues are worried about housing bubble

‘People think that I’m quite blunt,’ joked Vince Cable to Steve Richards at a fringe event this evening. The Business Secretary was being interviewed on his job, his relationship with Nick Clegg, and coalition politics, and he certainly made no effort to tone down that bluntness.

There were ‘senior Conservatives’, he said who were also concerned about the prospect of another housing bubble.
