Oh dear Vince, you mustn’t be taped talking about bears and woods and that sort of thing…

The heavily edited transcript of theTelegraph’s Cable tape is here.

Nothing earth-shattering. Slow news day at the Torygraph, is it?

The one potentially explosive line is this:

…they haven’t yet done winter fuel payments, but that’s coming, I think.

But that is in the context of the universality of child benefit, so probably refers to ideas to end winter fuel payments to rich people, which is not altogether surprising.

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk
