In what can only be described as underhand tactics, it is revealed that the right wing Daily Telegraph has claimed another scoop. Hot on the heels of the MPs’ expenses affair, this time they had the high ranking Liberal Democrats in their sights. Vince Cable did not disappoint when he freely expressed his concerns over the mighty Murdoch Empire taking on full control of BSKYB and uneasiness about the Coalition Government, generally.
The damage to the fragile Government by such a huge figure within the Coalition Cabinet is clear for all to see, apparently, not so for the opportunistic bunch at the top of the Tory and the Lib Dem Party. The Tories are fuming at the prospect of Vince Cable still being kept in the Cabinet with some of his powers being stripped and passed to Jeremy Hunt. This is the same Jeremy Hunt, who in the past has praised Rupert Murdoch and BSKYB. How, this decision, to pass the responsibility to oversee the process to hand total control of BSKYB to Murdoch is now almost guaranteed.
