DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Peter Black, AM, points out the flaws in the government’s PFI Welfare to Work schemes.

Amused Cynicism, meanwhile, highlights more problems at the DWP: their benefit-cheat-catching scheme doesn’t work.

Jane Merrick has some bears-are-catholic, pope-shits-in-the-woods news: the MOD are lying to people.

Political Betting wonders if Jacqui Smith is toast.

Ben Goldacre helps us all to spot the flaws in polling data.

Rhetorically Speaking has a great example of nowtrage in (surprise surprise) the Fail on Sunday.

Hagley Road to Ladywood accuses Silvio Berlusconi of necrophilia.

And, as ever, head on over to Septicisle for more. My pick of his picks is definitely the one from 5 Chinese Crackers about the Drunken Sailor nowtrage.
