DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Adrian Sanders MP (with a little pointer from the sainted Vince) knows how to get us out of recession.

Rhythmaning‘s grandad was a pre-war Labour party candidate. Here he presents some scans of his grandad’s election materials. It’s one of the most illuminating posts I have seen in months.

Nich Starling has a spirited and pin-sharp defence of the BBC.

Steph Ashley, meanwhile, reminds us that not all prank calls are bad and wrong and evil.

The Mustard Seed reminds us that female and black have both been qualities of American candidates since the early seventies. The embedded documentary is fascinating.

CNNBC has a news bulletin from the future.

The Filthy Smoker has an interesting guest post on Devil’s Kitchen.

My fiancĂ© Mat Bowles has a good rant about bad signposting. He got lost on the way to Yorkshire regional conference, and nearly missed the bloggers’ interview with Nick Clegg, poor lamb.

The Honourable Lady Mark Valladares made it to conference, though, and is very proud of his missus.

And if that’s not enough links for you to be going on with, head over to Septicisle‘s place…
