DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Douglas Johnson

The Daily (Maybe) - on the idea of the social contract.

Back Towards the Locus - invokes the image of Karl Rove in bed. Not for the faint-hearted, then.

New Direction - clarifies anti-imperialism

The Yorksher Gob - clarifies liberalism, somewhat more vigorously.

Christian Wolmar - on why we should renationalise the railways.

Secret Diary of a Cub Leader – The 42-Days defeat is enough to make this blogger question his animosity towards the Lords.

Freemania – The Tories are desperately trying to make political capital out of the financial crisis, but the experts disagree. Nobel Winning economist Paul Krugman, applauds Brown’s “combination of clarity and decisiveness”. Suck on that Gideon.
