Missing Vince Cable

The Telegraph is nostalgic for the Cable and his acting-leadership-ways already.

Here's what they - speaking for us all - love about him, in order:

• Making coup jokes as he hands over the Mr LibDem crown
• Ballroom dancing with Alesha, once of Mis-Teeq
• Making Gord quake (but not in a good way)
• Having the common touch
• Voting on reality TV shows! (A joke again, but we think he really does)

Cleggers: "There are few men who have excelled as an economist, a comedian and a ballroom dancer." Indeed. Indeed. Try not to make your predecessor/deputy sound more interesting than you though.

The Indy love him too:

In just two months as the Liberal Democrats' stand-in leader, Vince Cable has boycotted a major world power, cracked the best joke yet about Gordon Brown and brought Strictly Come Dancing into national politics. Mr Cable is assured of his position as deputy leader after winning plaudits for landing blows on the Government during his stint as caretaker.

Sigh. The Cable is, like, so dreamy, isn't he?
