Its a Lib Dem thing: local action at a time when PostNuLab plays divide and rule that NuLab pioneered. Shadow Cabinet should hit the web as Shadow Cabinet to get noticed. But some of the Labour people are not making a mark, either – for example, it was only a couple of days ago that I found Tom Harris’s blog (Rail Minister) and it was just not about his Ministerial work (maybe Tom isn’t into his job any more, leaving Aunty Ruth and the Chancellor to carry the can for FGW out of Paddington as he goes home to Scotland). Now Tom Watson (Cabinet Office Minister for Transformational Govt) is so different: an off the wall mix of personal and hard hitting political.
