Frank SkinnerHOST
... people on the currency.
Emily DeanHOST
I like Vince Cable and the man on the 10 pound note.
Frank SkinnerHOST
Yeah.
Emily DeanHOST
I think it...
Matthew HolbertHOST
And I don't think we're particularly clear on that after the four days than we were beforehand.
Matthew HolbertHOST
And, of course, lots of talk about the leadership process.
Matthew HolbertHOST
And that wasn't just among party activists or councillors.
Matthew HolbertHOST
That was happening with some MPs as well.
Matthew HolbertHOST
We had some fantastic speeches from the conference platform, which some have described, not the people themselves, but which some have described as pretenders to the throne giving their pitches.
Matthew HolbertHOST
So we had great speeches from Al Pinkerton, Max Wilkinson, Daisy Cooper, Josh Babarinde, and others.
Matthew HolbertHOST
And I think as and when a leadership contest happens, and it may not be for a good few years, I think there'll be a number of people standing in that and with good offers to bring to party members.
Matthew HolbertHOST
I think my own assessment for what it's worth is that we're still aiming towards the leafy Shire Tories.
Andrew BridgenGUEST
And they were quite happy as them as collateral damage to go to prison rather than expose the fact that they'd wasted £800 million worth of taxpayers' money.
Andrew BridgenGUEST
And then when we got in in 2010, it was a coalition government with the Lib Dems and bad luck for the Lib Dems, they were in charge of business and they're the ones that own the post office through Bayes, Vince Cable and Ed Davey and Jo Swinson, she was the post office minister.
Andrew BridgenGUEST
What I didn't know at the time, when Mr Rudkind came to me, is that the Conservative government wanted to sell off the post office.
Andrew BridgenGUEST
If you want to sell something off, what don't you want? Negative publicity.
Carl BenjaminHOST
He is indeed.
Carl BenjaminHOST
I think that's Vince Cable on stage as well.
Carl BenjaminHOST
Sir Vince Cable, who, um-
DanHOST
Still wheeling him out
Carl BenjaminHOST
... yeah, and apparently he can't command that much of a crowd, but, I mean, it's the morning.
Giles WilkesHOST
I mean, do you have a, a single sort of overriding narrative for why we are in this position? And to make...
Giles WilkesHOST
to sort of add a sensitive aspect to that, I was a coalition era spad for four years to your illustrious predecessor, Vince Cable.
Giles WilkesHOST
I'm still very proud of that, so I'm gonna mention it a lot.
Giles WilkesHOST
Um-
Matt ChorleyHOST
Right, so it's good you're here.
Matt ChorleyHOST
And we've got former Lib Dem leader, Sir Vince Cable.
Matt ChorleyHOST
Before we hear from the young people, Vince, how do you think Ed Davey's doing? Which camp are you in? Should he stay or go? Oh, I've just realised you don't have a microphone, Vince.
Matt ChorleyHOST
There we are.

DanielGUEST
We believe in a fair deal for all the people in this country.
DanielGUEST
And also, we're the best party to defeat reform in those marginal areas.
DanielGUEST
Finally then, Vince Cable, what should be the ten-second takeaway?
Vince CableGUEST
We're a big and highly relevant party with experience in local and national government, strong liberal values, committed to the environment, committed to localism, supportive of business, supporting of growth.
Giles WilkesMODERATOR
Add a sensitive aspect to that.
Giles WilkesMODERATOR
I was a coalition in the era of SPAD for four years to your illustrious predecessor, Vince Cable.
Giles WilkesMODERATOR
I'm still very proud of that, so I'm going to mention it a lot.
Giles WilkesMODERATOR
But were there mistakes that we contributed towards that meant that's why we're not growing enough now?
Giles WilkesPANELIST
But, I, I mean, I'm just really curious to see what her economic chops are like.
Giles WilkesPANELIST
I mean, I, I had the privilege of working for Vince Cable for four years.
Giles WilkesPANELIST
You could have a really interesting conversation with Vince about whether his, uh, approach is Keynesian or m- or, or monetarist, or whether he thinks Hyman Minsky got the banking crisis right.
Giles WilkesPANELIST
And I'm not saying that that should be the level o- of the margin debate, but there's a real possibility that Daisy Cooper, who's one of the real stars of the Lib Dems, is gonna play a significant role in national policy, and I'd love to get a sense of what she's, uh, about in that regard.
Chris ChermakHOST
Thanks very much to Thomas Lewis for that report.
Chris ChermakHOST
Still to come here on The Curator, Sir Vince Cable on the changing global economic landscape.
Chris ChermakHOST
We'll head to Paris as Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche opened its doors to more than 100 Japanese brands.
Chris ChermakHOST
And in our historical On This Day series, Andrew Mueller recalls when and how Easter Island became Chilean.

UBS, banking is our craft.
Chris ChermakHOST
You're with The Curator, our weekly highlights show here on Monaco Radio, and I'm Chris Turmack.
Chris ChermakHOST
Now, for last weekend's edition of Meet The Writers, the show's host, Georgina Godwin, met the former UK Business Secretary, Sir Vince Cable, to discuss his latest book, Eclipsing the West, which explores the global economic landscape as power transitions from the West to emerging superstates.
Chris ChermakHOST
Here's some of their conversation.
Charlie LamdinHOST
Luke Rowland on Facebook is watching and says, "Credit expansion, the bit they always miss.
Charlie LamdinHOST
Actually, when Vince Cable raised concerns before the 2008 crash, he was told to quieten down.
Charlie LamdinHOST
Doesn't suit the establishment and the banks." [laughs]
AlexHOST
Yeah.
