  In a direct attack on a report on employment reform by by venture captialist Adiran Beecroft, which was leaked to The Daily Telegraph, the Liberal Democrat said he was opposed to the "ideological zealots who want to encourage British firms to fire at will".
  
  It is the latest outburst from Mr Cable and is likely to increase tensions within the Coalition.
  Writing in The Sun, Mr Cable said: "Some people think that if labour rights were stripped down to the most basic minimum, employers would start hiring and the economy would soar again.
  
  "This is complete nonsense."
  
  He added: "British workers are an asset, not just a cost for company bosses. That is why I am opposed to the ideological zealots who want to encourage British firms to fire at will."
