DAILY BLOG REVIEW / Lee Griffin

Planet Jamie does some *phine* work in debunking the propaganda of Phorm’s frankly hilarious “Stop Phoul Play” PR-fail site.

Moments of Clarity is disapproving of compromise on the expenses issue.

Michael Tomasky/CiF muses on the republican defection, I have to wonder if a move towards a UK style absolute majority is ever “positive”.

Brad Hicks REALLY hates newspapers.

Next Left is extremely hopeful for the death of ID cards.

Mark Reckons investigates the significance of the number of people asking Brown to resign.

And finally Jock’s Place looks back to 1909 and the “People’s Budget”. Remember you can always browse through our previous Netcasts
