Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on May 09, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Vince Cable! You've gracefully navigated Parliament since 1997—long enough to see economic cycles come and go faster than British weather changes. Your sharp wit in debates has always been a highlight; who else could make fiscal policy sound as entertaining as stand-up comedy?

From Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats to Treasury Spokesperson, your career is filled with memorable moments that even rival Brexit negotiations for drama (but thankfully not duration). May this birthday bring you joy—and fewer budget spreadsheets. Here's hoping your next year brings more success and less parliamentary paperwork!

Cheers to another timeless classic year ahead!
