DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Eddie Mair wishes us all a happy Burns Day, with appropriate poetry.

The Award-Winning Alix Mortimer examines uses of the word “progressive” in politics on LDV (she also has a few words to say about the cash for questions thing).

Lee Griffin examines Gordon Brown’s question-answering record (maybe we should bung him a couple of hundred grand? Oh no, that’s just to ASK questions, isn’t it, not answer them…).

Hagley Road to Ladywood points out the obvious with regard to modern degrees (not that I’m bitter. Oh no).

Andrew Hickey is unimpressed by the Lib Dem’s eCanvass tools.

Costigan Quist wonders if it’s the government’s job to make us happy (perhaps not, but I’d say it’s not their job to actively pursue ways of making us UNhappy too).

James Graham discusses abortion.

Stephen Glenn has congratulations for a Tory.

And as always, Septicisle has more.
