DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Stephen Glenn, appropriately enough, examines how the government’s plans for parental leave are the a subject of divide in the Labour party.

Andy Worthington, in a sequel to yesterday’s post, discusses Abu Quatada.

Mr Quist does a Ben Goldacre impression, and dissects some dodgy statistics and science reporting.

Anton Vowl points out the misogyny of a popular tabloid media meme.

Martin King pays a visit to the UK’s motor city to see how it is coping with the demise of the motor industry.
