Tom Harris was (AFAIK) the only minister who took the time and trouble to engage with us here. I didn't agree with much he said, and was particularly worried about the revolving door at the department. Now the 3 top ministers at DfT have all gone (!!) but I think we should thank him for engaging with us - and hopefully he'll be able to say more now.
Doesn't Gordon like LabourHome?

How come Tom Harris, perhaps the only minister who wrote with us, the plebs, in LabourHome in recent times, is sacked?

A brilliant article by Polly Toynbee this morning draws our attention to the words of Lord Northcliffe at the end of his life when asked about the success of his newspaper, The Daily Mail: “I give them a daily hate”.

In the last few days Denis MacShane has called for a lurch to the right to meet the challenge of Cameron’s new Conservatives. Writing in the Daily Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/05/27/do2701.xml
MacShane attacked the idea of raising taxes to fund our collective social obligations and instead argued 'the individual human being should be at the centre of our concerns'.
