Remember this time last year, when they kicked the lifelong party member out of the conference for being honest? Well, guess what? This year?
They’re not even letting him onto the conference floor. That’s despite him now being elected to the NEC (via).
In other news, Gordon Brown is rumoured to be planning to announce plans for a constitutional convention, complete with full written constitution. Maybe Helena Kennedy managed to get to him? So, the question is, is it posturing, is he a genuine reformer, has he been putting up with Tony’s authoritarianism, or is it something he’s going to fuck up completely?
Why is it that even when they’re saying exactly what I want to hear, I don’t believe a word this lot say? Time will tell I guess. (via)

I wholeheartedly support the idea that politicians should blog more, communicate more, discuss things directly, etc. Ergo, when a Govt Minister sets up a blog, I think that’s, on balance, a good idea. For the record, I’m working on my employers to give me space for a newsblog at work, it’ll be a good way to communicate with the people I work with. Whether they’ll buy it or not I don’t know, but I don’t think work blogs are a waste of time, nor of taxpayers money.
Note the corrolary though. When it’s done right.

Well, I got the first Google referral for “Don’t you think Blair looks tired?”, for which this is currently the only result. I suspect that will change. Why?
I want Blair out of office by the end of 2006
