Links added

With scrupulous political balance, I have added to my links the group blogs of, respectively, The Independent (Open House) and The Spectator (Coffee House), both of which I like reading. On Open House, John Rentoul nicely interprets the Delphic pronouncements of Gordon Brown. On Coffee House, James Forsyth notes the PM's most glaring problem, but understates.

There is an irony here. Brown has not confounded reasonable expectations. It was obvious from his disloyalty to Tony Blair that Brown would be a self-absorbed Prime Minister of little use in running a government. It turns out he has little more competence than John Major, and I take absolutely no displeasure in remarking upon it.

How about adding a search box too?

I remember many editions of "Question Time" when all we got from the Labour representatives was mealy-mouthed replies whenever Iraq was raised.
Ed Balls was one such, and it gives me enormous pleasure to watch him and fellow Brownites sweating on their future prospects without the man they plotted against.
