DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Jennie Rigg

Hello, and welcome to your bumper Sunday netcast…

Jonathan Calder says even the Fail on Sunday are asking why Vince isn’t running the country yet. After the rumours all over the blogosphere earlier in the week that Vince may be called to number 11, this seems significant to me. But that’s possibly because I’ve been a naked Vince worshipper for ages…

And speaking of Vince, he has come out for Ros in the Lib Dem party presidential race (as Duncan Borrowman and Jonathan Calder and myself also report)

The Open Rights Group report on the No2ID pictorial protest in Parliament Square.

Peter Black is heartened by grassroots resistance to ID cards.

Liz Williams makes a great point about Death in Austria.

Chicken Yoghurt and Nich Starling have both been reading Blairwatch.

On Liberty Now wants to discuss Chandila Fernando’s idea of rebranding the Lib Dems.

Lib Dem Voice is joining the support for the Atheist Bus Campaign.

Also on LDV, the Award-winning Alix Mortimer wonders if it’s time for the Tories to ditch Boy George.

In lieu of Showbiz and Cookery (because we girlies are flighty and can’t keep to one or two subjects for long ;)), this week I bring you knitting. With a slightly science geek bent.

And if that’s not enough for you… You know the drill by now.
