He has told us he is resigning," said a Libyan spokesman.</p> <p>His apparent defection comes as protesters in the UK are retreating from former strongholds around West London.</p> <p>“Vince Cable is one of the most senior figures in Clegg’s coalition government and his role was to represent the regime’s policy towards business enterprise – something that he is no longer willing to do,” the spokesman continued.</p> <p>“We encourage those around Clegg to abandon him and embrace a better future for the UK that allows political transition and real reform that meets the aspirations of the British people.</p> <p>“We are in talks with several other high-ranking officials who disagree with Clegg’s policies and are willing to grant them safe harbour in Tripoli. But not Ed Miliband.”</p> <p>Libyan intelligence officials hope that his deep knowledge of the coalition regime will help bring about its early end, diplomatic sources commented.</p> <p>Mr Clegg arrived in Tripoli on what is believed to have been the back of a Libyan military donkey, our correspondent adds.</p> <p>However, British officials have been quick to downplay the impact of Vince Cable’s apparent defection.</p> <p>Liberal Democrat spokesman Michael Moore denied Cable’s loss was a setback for the regime and called the minister ‘an old man who cannot take the pressure’.</p> <p>Fighting continued to rage in and around disputed shops including Fortnum and Masons, as UK Uncut protesters tried to cling on to recent gains.</p> <p>Even as police loyal to the coalition advanced on UK Uncut strongholds, opponents were heartened by the Cable news.</p> <p>However, Mr Moore denied Cable had defected, saying: ‘This is not a happy piece of news, but people are saying, “So what? If someone wants to step down that’s his decision."</p> <p>‘Yes, Vince Cable worked in high-ranking positions of the government but we don’t think he will sacrifice the safety of the country unless his Werther’s Original supply is threatened.'</p> <p>But Labour opposition leader Ed Miliband declared: ‘Clegg is an injured wolf and an injured wolf is much more dangerous than a healthy wolf. But we hope the defections continue and I think he’ll find himself with no one around him.’</p> <p>Meanwhile, Sarah Palin told reporters last night: “I am very, very confused.” </p>
