Sleeping through the apocalypse
Like Nathaniel, I decided – in a haze of apathy and disillusionment – that bed was infinitely preferable to watching a bunch of smug Tories sweep the board. There are obviously numerous live-blogging posts I could link to, but they only work in real-time (although Unity’s thread is very funny and worth a gander – as usual, music is kindly provided). Obviously the fall-out will continue over the weekend, so I’ll bring you the best on Monday.
Peter Kenyon – Asks if Gordon Brown is ready for the hard work it will take to get Labour fighting fit again?
Demos Greenhouse – Has Cameron really changed his (or the Tories’) spots? The fight-back begins.
Louise Baldock – Small Victories matter to those who worked hard.
Jo’s Jottings – A Lib Dem’r enjoys some schadenfreude at Labour’s expense.
Matt Davies – Points out that it wasn’t all good news for the Tories.
Philobiblon – Big news in Norwich, where for the first-time, the Greens have become the official party of opposition!
Anthony Barnett – Regardless of today’s landslide, Cameron may just end up being the Tory Neil Kinnock.
Obsolete – The Guardian’s last-minute “hatchet-job” on BoJo, was never going to work.
The Curvature – Cara can’t quite suppress her rage at the news that Johnny Vegas is alleged to have sexually assaulted a female member of the audience.
Amnesty Blogs – al-Jazeera’s cameraman in Guantanamo Bay, has been released. Gitmo savant, Andy Worthington, has more.
Paul Krugman – Emperor Krug, sniffing the sweet scent of blood, takes another shot at Obama. The supreme overlord of the Clintonites has been chipping away at him since January.
