Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments section.

Highlights
Hopi Sen – The Con Way?
Cameron’s actions over the Coway scandal were self-serving and weak.

The Last Ditch – Leaving medicine
Libertarian Tom Paine takes on “socialised medicine” and the increasing number of doctors leaving the NHS.

Dave Cole – Why I intend to vote for Ken Livingstone
It’s the transport infrastructure (and housing), stupid.

Nick Robinson – Who else is on the payroll?
Nick’s gone with “Conway PLC“, but I preferred my “pocket-money Conway”. Oh hum.

Sunder Katwala/CiF – Long march of the Tory tortoises
Cameron has been proven a charlatan. Change to win? Pah! They haven’t changed at all.

Obsolete – Express-watch: Soft touch journalists.
The Express wouldn’t be misleading us again, would it?

The Yorkshire Guidon – Liberal Democrats to ban patio heaters
Will the Lib Dems outlaw patio-heaters? What, with no debate?

janestheone – Jack’s the man
Jack Straw for leader? Surely not!

Bob Piper – Winter of Discontent brewing in Shamblestown
The LibDem council in Liverpool may be a shower, but Bob thinks he can convince you that the Tory/Lib coalition in Brum is even worse.

Elsewhere
Jenni Russell/CiF – We rage at Hain and Conway but miss the real profligacy
Amused Cynicism – More on McA-levels
Remembering the Ability in Disability – Neighbours Forgets The Ability in Disability… again!
Crooked Timber – Prediction Markets In Republican Spin
Dave Hill/CiF – Round one to Ken
Freemania – Conway, Hain, dithering and decisiveness
Fair Deal Phil – Hillary wins hollow victory in Florida: will Giuliani now back McCain…?
