  1. Wow.

    Surprised.

    Thought Redwood would be Number 1 He deserved to be. Best politicians blog by far.

  2. Kerry, Czar of Labour blogging, must be pissed at not being the number 1 blog for Labour!

  3. @TrueBlueblood said "Thought Redwood would be Number 1 He deserved to be. Best politicians blog by far."

    While Redwood's blog is good at politics, I wouldn't say it is a good blog as it is a bit, frankly boring - unless you are a political nerd.

    Tom Harris gets the balance right between politics and light hearted personal chatter.

    John Redwood needs to lighten up a bit ;)

  4. I can't find Mary Honeyball MEP's Honeyball Buzz on your list of parliamentarians with blogs.

    Is there any reason for this or just an oversight?

  5. Holly, She was in the directory but hadn't got the correct coding. I have now rectified this!

  6. @IanVisits. 'frankly boring - unless you are a nerd'. LOL I love that comment.

    Redwood for me is fascinating and very insightful and hence unmissable. However, I get my titiliation from the likes for Guido, who make me laugh.

    Will be interesting to see who is voted best blog overall.

  7. Kerry's blog is about as exciting as piles. It doesn't say much about our MPs that she scored so highly.

    Though it says even less that Nadine Dorries is here as well.

  8. What's with this LA and CO stuff?
    Is anyone outside the Westminster village supposed to know what that means?

  10. I suspect Tom Harris did so well because he's really a Tory ;)

  12. OK what's the acronym for UKIP, SNP, Monster Raving ..., etc?

    Are you trying to save paper?
    Surely that only applies to the dead tree press.

  14. Douglas Carswell did not print a post I made to his blog which was not offensive in any way
    If he's censoring comment he shouldnt be on your list
