in case Vince Cable gets too saintly tonight at the Chancellors debate

The Telegraph reminds us that despite the 'saintly Vince' act, Vince Cable is no more honest than most politicians:

'Mr Cable earlier this month claimed to have been consulted by the Treasury about his party’s policies and suggested the talks were a prelude to his becoming Chancellor in the event of a hung parliament.

It later emerged that the meeting with Sir Nicholas McPherson, the permanent secretary at the Treasury, had been a “courtesy call” requested by Mr Cable himself.

Mr Cable’s presentation of the event angered Treasury officials, and the Lib Dem has now written to Sir Nicholas to apologise.'

I wonder if the BBC will report this climbdown, after all Vince Cable is the BBC's go to economist.
