As News Corporation confirmed it was withdrawing its bid for BSkyB following the phone hacking scandal, Business Secretary Vince Cable said it would be "very difficult" to imagine the BSkyB bid being resurrected at a later date.

Mr Cable, who was secretly recorded last year saying he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch, had been in charge of overseeing the bid, but was replaced by Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt.

Personally, I am thrilled for Vince Cable today after his full on character assassination some months ago after letting it slip he that he had "declared war on Mr Murdoch."

Mr Cable understood the dangers Rupert Murdoch posed & I'm sure, Mr Cable will be one relieved cookie tonight after seeing the deal collapse.

Thank you BBC.

By the way, he was allegedly targeted by News International whilst he was a sitting Prime Minister.

In context, can you think of a bigger crime than bugging a Prime Minister who is in office?

I can't.

@Rodney92 I think at the end of the day Rodney, Rupert Murdoch, even in a diminished capacity is a seriously powerful friend to have; especially when you are an Ex-PM, doing all your business in the States.

Whatever peoples thoughts on TB, he is a fiercely loyal man. I can't see TB ever turning, even though he was targeted by News Int.

However, there are as big, if not bigger fish that have been targeted & also the 9/11 families are calling for an investigation, so this is only just starting.

Why has Tony Blair gone so easy on Murdoch and the News of the World? Strange.
