Thursday
Veteran Labour MP, fierce opponent of the European Union and one of the more congenial politicians, Austin Mitchell, has his own blog. Mitchell is a pretty outspoken MP, and though his mixed-economy Keynsian economic views are hopelessly wrong-headed and out of date, he is one of the more independent minded MPs in our rather colourless political landscape.
I had a brief look at his blog and it should be good to read, though Austin had better be prepared for how fellow bloggers will be ready and willing to 'fact-check his ass' at a moment's notice.
Come on you Tory MPs, get a blog!

Are there any blogging lords? There are more of them and they have the opportunity for wider interests and freer opinions.

Guy Herbert, thank you. This one works. It's a mess, but it's a website.

Calling your site a blog does not make it a blog... if you cannot link to articles then you cannot really be said to be in the blogosphere.
It is not really a blog.

Blimey, it should come with sunglasses! :-)
Just love the "slightly out of focus" look :)
