    er ... David Cameron, MP for Witney.

    Gotcha!

    Web addresses in comments are tricky, so I have listed another 4 or 5 on my blog.

    I suggest an email to Ellee Seymour - she is researching it.

    Also suggest you need something to indicate whether the blogs are up to date.

    I've decided that we need some research on this, so I'm setting up a poll.
    Will post the url in a bit when it is up.

    John McDonnell
    Jon Cruddas
    Michael Meacher

    Certainly do a bit blog wise.

    And if memory serves doesn't mad dog Maclean do one? Though it is kept secret lest there be any public scrutiny of his expenses claim.

    You left off Ming Campbell, if you can call it a blog.

    Good you are on Newsnight tonight

    Should be fun

    Matt Wardman said...

    The David Davies on your list is an AM not an MP.

    AFAIK the Shadow Cabinet DD does not have a blog (?)

    Iain Dale said...

    Matt, wrong. He WAS an AM. He is now an MP.

    I've created a poll for the roughly 30 MPs who I know have blogs - including all those identified on this article, except for David Miliband (in hiatus) and Pat McFadden (impossible to navigate).

    There are also direct links to them all, and a few of my own thoughts.

    If you know any others, flag them up and I will add them.

    Most of which are worthy of a read except for liar and libel case loser Paul Flynn.

    I can offer you Steve Pound (Ealing North) - http://www.stevepound.org.uk/

    Do Theyworkforyou keep track of this information?

    Elliott said...

    Blimey! Aren't there 650 of them .. ?

    Praguetory said...

    As Matt says and email to Ellee should get you your list. No point reinventing the wheel.

    Sir George Young doesn't exactly have a blog, but he does write a fairly humorous article weekly on his website.

    I'd propose three sections in this list.

    One for true blogs. Comments enabled. Dialogue. Minimal censoring (i.e. of spam, not opposing views).

    One for frequently updated 'information' sites, blog-a-likes.

    One for 'static pages which some bloglike characteristics'.

    Feel free to grab the list from Planet Westminster.

    We're up to about 50 MP bloggers now (I'm drawing up a definitive list for blogminster.com), so the list is growing, and several have given up since you made the original list.

    We'll have the full picture in about 3-4 weeks.
