Welcome to our daily web review. As always, feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments.

Clairwil – The first step to ending poverty is scrapping tax-credits, that most convoluted and expensive waste of resources. The lowest paid shouldn’t pay any tax whatsoever.

Dave Hill – Some choice cuts from the list of questions submitted for next week’s Mayoral QT. (Doug takes a closer look).

…Millennium Dome, Elephant – On the rather delicious spat between Sarkozy and Mandleson, and how French protectionism is the enemy of progress. Amen.

Westminster Wisdom – Gracchi toys with the idea of a peaceful compromise in 1776, where America and Britain remain unified. How could things have panned out differently?

Paul Linford – Will DC bring DD back into the inner sanctum?

Freakonomics – On the cost/benifit dilemma of end-of-life medical treatment. Just how much is too much?

James Graham/CiF – James thinks Clegg scored an own-goal in the recent H&H by-election and that DC has now been locked into opposing the clamp-down on liberties. However, he regards the result – in terms of actually creating a *public* debate on liberty – as a damp squib.

Justin Webb/BBC – If the automobile really is America’s weapon of choice when committing a crime of passion, will the hike in gas prices actually lower the US murder rate? ;o)

Have a nice weekend.
