Naomi and Alex, with guest Sir Vince Cable, discuss the lack of policy flesh on the meat of an American election that seems all about vibes. Meanwhile, the new Labour government seem willing to devise an industrial policy - but it will take more than words. Rachel Reeves bought into BIDENOMICS - but with Biden gone, and Harris more mercurial, is that still a thing? Click here to back Quiet Riot on Ko-fi. Vince on Kamala Harris: "She will have to say something on fundamental questions that will shape this election… The British election is a good example of the problem with a Ming-Vase approach. You get into government and the moment you do anything remotely controversial, people go bananas, because you've built up no buy in. There's a certain parallel with what's happening across the pond.” Vince on Lords reform and the abolition of life peerages and phasing out of peers on the basis of age: “It's a rather weak response to a big problem, which is that we have a Second House which is bloated, massively undemocratic, and - frankly - corrupt, because of the large number of people who have bought their places.” Vince on Brexit: “The fact is that this is an enormous hole. I think there is a collective sense now that we made a mistake, but there is also a resignation that nothing can be done about it. And somehow or other those two things can't continue.” Ckick here for Vincent's last book. US Election aggregate polling at Five Thirty Eight.

The Institute of Economic Affairs recently hosted a Book Club event reflecting on "The Orange Book" published by the Liberal Democrats 20 years prior in 2004. The event was hosted by Tom Clougherty, Executive Director of the IEA, and featured three of the original authors - Mark Oaten (Former MP & Home Affairs Spokesperson), Baroness Susan Kramer (Former Minister of State for Transport), and Sir Vince Cable (Former Leader of the Liberal Democrats). The panelists discussed the origins and impact of The Orange Book, which aimed to reclaim economic liberalism within the Liberal Democrat party at the time. They reflected on how ideas changed during the Coalition government years, with insights around industrial policy, privatisations, regulation, public service reform and more. Key topics covered included the struggle to enact radical policies, the role of the market vs. government intervention, and the compatibility of economic and social liberalism. Looking ahead, the panel debated what a new "Orange Book" focused on reclaiming liberalism might include today - addressing issues like the fiscal challenges, Brexit, environmentalism, and even artificial intelligence. While differences remained between the economic and social liberal perspectives, there was shared emphasis on the need for a more popular, outward-looking brand of liberalism to tackle nationalism and populism.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question this evening are Former Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Vince Cable, Columnist at the Evening Standard Emily Sheffield, ABC News Europe Bureau Chief Steve Cannane and Broadcaster and Commentator Denise Headley

Sir Vince Cable, former leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, tells Alex Salmond why Chairman Deng Xiaoping is, in a study of 16 world leaders, the one who most shaped the economics of the modern world. Despite serving as a cabinet minister in a coalition government with the Tories, Sir Vince also argues, that the time is now ripe for an understanding on the centre-left of UK politics.

Sir Vince Cable is a British politician who was the Leader of the Liberal Democrats from 2017 to 2019. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Twickenham from 1997 to 2015 and from 2017 to 2019. He also served in the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills from 2010 to 2015.Cable studied Economics at Cambridge and Glasgow, before working as an economic adviser to the Government of Kenya in the 1960s, and for the Commonwealth Secretariat in the 1970s and 1980s. During this period, he also lectured in economics at Glasgow. He later served as Chief Economist for Shell in the 1990s. Initially active in the Labour Party, Cable became a Labour councillor in Glasgow in the 1970s, during which time he also served as a special adviser to then-Trade Secretary John Smith. In 1982, however, he defected to the newly formed Social Democratic Party, which later amalgamated with the Liberal Party to form the Liberal Democrats.After standing unsuccessfully for Parliament four times, Cable was elected for Twickenham in 1997. He was quickly appointed the Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesman and was later elected as Deputy Leader in 2006. Cable resigned from both of these positions in May 2010 after being appointed as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills in the coalition government. He lost his seat in 2015, although later regained it in 2017. Cable subsequently stood in the leadership election to replace Tim Farron and was elected unopposed.In May 2019, Cable led the Liberal Democrats to their best national electoral performance since the 2010 election, gaining fifteen seats in the European Parliament election. This followed a campaign in which the party ran on an anti-Brexit platform. He subsequently announced his intention to retire from politics, and stood down as leader on 22 July 2019, upon the election of Jo Swinson; he stood down from Parliament at the 2019 general election.

Clinton's campaigning slogan seems out of place amidst the political chatter about partygate and the rumblings about war in Ukraine.  But the government's credibility hinges on economic performance. There are worrying trends: a slowdown in post covid recovery and rising inflation which has been underestimated. Sir Vince Cable is the former leader of the Liberal Democrats and served as Secretary of State for business, innovation and skills from 2010 to 2015.

Democracy is in danger on several fronts: internally, in the USA especially, with the refusal of the Republican Party to accept the results of elections; globally with a slide to semi-democratic, semi-authoritarian regimes in many countries; and physically with the threatened Russian attack on Ukraine.

Iain Dale talks to former LibDem leader Sir Vince Cable about his book MONEY & POWER – THE 16 WORLD LEADERS WHO CHANGED ECONOMICS.

I discuss the choices and dilemmas the government faces in launching its ‘levelling up' White Paper on its signature policy:  badly delayed and due early this year. The key choice is whether to prioritise left-behind people or places. The government seems primarily concerned with the latter and, within the latter, towns rather than cities.

Over the summer, we were invited to represent the podcast at the Chalke Valley History Festival down in Wiltshire. The festival is one of the largest history festivals in the country, and even though it was welcoming reduced numbers of guests due to some pandemic going around, it still attracted the masses in their thousands. Over three days we spoke to several professional history fanatics - authors, historians, comedians and actors alike. In todays episode, we take a look at the first part of these conversations and interviews. We didn't stop speaking for days - so we've got lots more content for you! Those featured in this episode include Sir Vince Cable, Harry Enfield, Catherine Fletcher, Charlie Higson and Sir Anthony Seldon (not in order of appearance)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Sir Vince Cable, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, about his new book ‘Money & Power: The World Leaders Who Changed Economics’. He discusses the prominent role of the most iconic figures of the 20th century in shifting economics, including President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and certain myths we associate with him, and Soviet Union founder and Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. Cable explains how Lenin’s biggest impact wasn’t on the Soviet Union, but rather on Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, whose policies were inspired by his New Economic Policy and heralded the rise of China’s economy, the rise of neoliberalism and Margaret Thatcher’s election. Cable also discusses Brexit and the lobbying scandal currently rocking the UK government.

Anyone doing business with China will have been shocked by the speed with which political and economic relations with Western, and some other, countries – like India – have deteriorated in 2020, but especially the USA and the UK. A crucial issue for the future is whether this is a passing phase, caused by temporary shocks like the Pandemic and by the personalities of leaders in China and the USA. Alternatively, this could be the beginning of a new Cold War characterised by prolonged hostility on several levels, especially the economic. Sir Vince Cable was Secretary of State for Business Innovation and Skills and President of the Board of Trade in the UK's coalition government 2010-15, and before entering parliament he had an extensive career in government, international organisations, universities and business, latterly as Chief Economist of Shell. He has enjoyed Visiting Professorships at the LSE, Nottingham, Sheffield and St Mary’s and Birmingham City Universities. He has been at the heart of trade with China, and brings to this book a depth of understanding and a clarity of thought that is so important today when emotion and feelings dominate over facts, reality and sense. ] His analysis in China: Engage! - Avoid the New Cold War (Bite-Sized Books, 2020) is precise, forensic and clear and he brings to the debate about China realism and facts and this book is vital reading for all of us concerned with international trade and international relations. The march towards a cold war with China led by the US, and apparently supported by the UK, is dangerous and Sir Vince Cable's perspective is a corrective to many of the so-called "alternative facts" that are in circulation. This book is timely and important and vital for anyone concerned for the future of international trade.

Workplace Evolution Director & Business Psychologist interviews Sir Vince Cable on the topic of the Corona Virus and the future ahead: Sir Vince Cable on the Over 60s: "I accept I'm now well over 70...I'm probably going to be one of the last people to be released from some kind of confinement. I do feel we have been leaning over backwards as a society to protect the interests of the elderly...we have to think about young people...we have had our time...let's focus on the interests of young people" Challenging the NHS system: "A lot of miraculous things are now happening in the NHS...an enormous number of people who were in hospital have suddenly been removed. Why wasn't this happening before? A lot of cutting across boundaries [and] brilliant collaborative working - why didn't this happen before? Why did it take an emergency to get the NHS operating at full efficiency" Rising Sentiment for the NHS: "We need to keep a cool head about it. The care system had been terribly neglected. Decisions were made 5 years ago for charging for social care that were never implemented and as a result we've got this horribly defective system of social care alongside the NHS - and you can't deal with one without the other." Balancing Civil Liberties & the Economy: "We will have to be a lot less precious about some of the finer points of civil liberties...the best safe-guard is that we do have open media" Loathing Donald Trump / the Relationship with the United States: "The populists have been put in their box. The reinstatement of the expert is a good thing. He [Trump] has behaved quite appallingly in this pandemic and made things much worse...one practical consequence is that the United States, who we always used to look to for leadership ever since the second world war has effectively abdicated that role...if the American leadership can't do it, someone else has to do it and step up to the plate"  Universal Credit, Guaranteed Loan Scheme & Food Banks: "The guaranteed loan scheme for businesses isn't working sadly...it is only getting to 4% of companies [and] the banks aren't cooperating...enormous numbers of businesses are going to go under in the next few weeks unless that is made significantly more generous. Universal credit started off with good intentions but it is keeping people in appalling poverty...I see a few improvements but it is not on the scale to prevent mass destitution. There has been a massive increase in the number of people going to food banks and even the food banks do not have enough. That is a gap in the system we need to be plugging urgently." Boris Johnson / Governments 5 Point Plan: "It doesn't show the way forward. What politicians should be doing is pushing for a route map for a strategy for moving forward above all for giving people a sense of hope. His [Boris Johnson] own instincts are optimistic and positive. I would hope that when he gets back to the leadership role he will help us to think more positively rather than a negative frame of mind" The Lib Dems: "We took a battering in 2015. With 11 MPs you can't make a lot of noise....I think there is an appetite for progressive liberal politics and I think it will come back. Now that the Labour Party is under sensible leadership it will actually make it easier because a lot of people wanted to vote for us and liked what we had to say but were terrified of having Mr Corbyn in power."  "The Civil liberties agenda...that will be a very important and touchy issue where I would hope they are doing some original and creative thinking" Photo (attached): Credit Chris Watt www.workplaceevolution.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/workplaceevol LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcostellooccpsych1 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jointheevolution/message

The HuffPost UK politics team sat down with Lib Dem MP Sir Ed Davey as Westminster salivates over leadership campaigns. Theresa May has been compelled to set out her departure date by the 1922 Committee, while Nigel Farage barrels across the country to prove that he can lead a party with ideas for all of Britain's interests. Meanwhile, after a successful Local Election campaign, Sir Vince Cable turns the air blue with a message for the European elections as he looks to leave the Lib Dems in a much healthier state than when he took over as leader. #ed davey #lib dem #leadership #vince cable #theresa may #brexit #politics #Britain

It’s easy to know where the Liberal Democrats stand on Brexit: they didn’t want it to happen and now they’re backing a second referendum.

Adam Boulton hosts the Sky News podcast on the week's big political talking points.There are mutinous mutterings on the Conservative backbenches but it's the Prime Minister's Chequers compromise rather than the PM herself which is causing consternation as the UK heads towards a possible 'No Deal Brexit.' That's despite a leading group of Brexiteers apparently talking openly about ousting Theresa May. And Brighton is the first stop on the party conference season tour as the Liberal Democrats gather on the south coast. What next for the party after Sir Vince Cable mooted plans for new rules in the race to succeed him?

As MPs return to Westminster, Matt Chorley assembles a crack team of former political spin doctors to diagnose the problems in their parties, and their long-term chances of survival.Katie Perrior, who was Theresa May's No10 director of communications, insists the PM is dead set against a second Brexit referendum: "She thinks it's highly divisive, when you go back on democracy. But will she choose it over getting fired? I don't know, that's politics."Paul Ovenden, who was a Labour press spokesman until after last year's snap election, voices his despair at the party's failure to get a grip on the antisemitism row. He explains: "The problem is it is not just any political issue for Jeremy Corbyn or the people around him. The foundation of their politics is the idea that the West is a force for bad, a force for disruption of the Middle East and Israel is a big part of that."Vanessa Pine, a former special adviser to Sir Vince Cable in the coalition government, admits her party has not made the progress it should have done in the last year: "There have been self-inflicted wounds."

​ What is Boris Johnson up to? Does he want to be sacked? Does he still think he's in with a chance of the top job? Or does he just want to highlight how weak Theresa May is? We ask why he's undermined the Prime Minister, just as she's about to set out her strategy for Brexit. Meanwhile, Sir Vince Cable genuinely thinks he could be the next PM, as UKIP consider a leadership candidate who's too extreme for most of UKIP. More at twitter.com/paulosbourne
