| My evening with Vince Cable |
I was delighted to be one of over 70 Liberal Democrats and guests who welcomed Dr Vince Cable to Woking last Saturday.
Vince told us about departmental achievements including the growing number
of apprentices, the setting up of the Green Investment bank and businesses
working in partnership with the government.
Looking forward Vince told us about seeking to
make progress on zero hours contracts and the decline in the real value of the
minimum wage.
Vince was dismissive of the green
credentials of his Conservative coalition partners saying “Cameron now seems to be turning a rather pale shade of green”. Vince believes that dropping green energy tariffs,
which help to fund energy efficiency measures to those who need help to
insulate their homes, would be “short-sighted
and foolish”.
After taking a wide range of questions Vince was asked what he would do if he wasn't an MP
and he had a range of ways to spend his time including dancing, teaching and
spending more time with his wife.
It was great to have Vince Cable with us for the evening to hear about some positive
achievements on the economy and the environment of Lib Dems in government.
