This blog was started in May 2005 and was named in the Top 50 Political Blogs in the country in Iain Dale's Guide for the first three years of its existence. I don't know where it came in the fourth year, partly because I stopped caring about lists, league-tables and visitor-numbers some time ago. The main focus of the blog is national politics with a slight emphasis on Labour Party matters, but it also regularly includes stuff about other enthusiasms of mine such as football, journalism, history, music and Christianity.
