I clearly believe a lot more than some of my coalition colleagues

I clearly believe a lot more than some of my coalition colleagues – Tories – in redistribution and using the tax system for that purpose. I also believe in the government having an active role in the economy, which is having an industrial strategy. Im not a believer in laissez-faire. – Vince Cable
