Celebrity News?

Apparently, Vince Cable's car crash of a ministerial career is one of the Telegraph's top three 'celebrity news' stories today.

The paper left the sage of Twickenham out of its front-page politics section and gave him a berth in its celebrity news section instead - which apparently covers everything 'from the Hollywood homes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to the chic nightclubs visited by Kate Middleton and Prince William and the holiday beaches favoured by the Beckhams and the Sarkozys.'

I'm not sure that people take Vince Cable seriously. His forthcoming performance on Strictly Come Dancing - the subject of this 'celebrity' article - is coming at a pretty bad time. He could really do with keeping his head down for a while after making a total idiot of himself earlier in the week. It's sort of all his own fault though really, so I've got little sympathy.

What I will say is that while it was a controversial move to keep Cable in the Government and not to have forced him to resign - as Cameron and Clegg would have done to almost anyone else - keeping him inside the tent does mean that he can't start stirring the pot on the backbenches. And that has to be better for the long-term health of the coalition.

Anyway, it's sad about Ryan and Scarlett, isn't it guys?
