Letter: Vince Cable's nifty move

As SOMEONE who is adept at spin and reverse turns, Vince Cable should do particularly well in the Christmas edition of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing entertainment.

An added bonus may be that the show can turn a much-maligned politician into the nation's darling in a few easy steps, which, as we have witnessed, do not even have to be brilliantly executed. It has worked for Ann Widdecombe, so he must be hoping it does the same for him.
