Stuff I’ve written elsewhere
Martin Bright at the New Statesman asked me to write a guest post for his blog about the Tim Ireland/Guido Fawkes skirmish.
UPDATE: The post is now reproduced below the fold.

I did a little rooting around in the 18 Doughty Street archives and found the Vox Politics show that I appeared on this week.
Watch me here (windows media) in all my fat glory. The lager and sausage roll diet is clearly not working.

The Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze is out. I’m in it, writing about “astroturfing“.
Once you get past a few of the pieces’ sniggering schoolboy prurience with regard to ministers’ sex lives, particularly (backs against the walls, lads!) those of gay ministers, and what I thought was a innuendo-stuffed misrepresentation of the Ken Livingstone/Oliver Feingold fiasco, the book is actually a pretty good primer of the high crimes and misdemeanours committed since 1997.
I was asked to write a piece for this week’s Press Gazette which you can see on the Press Gazette blog (one of whose contributors is the estimable Martin Stabe) or here’s a PDF version of the page. The article is a comment piece in which I try very hard to be nice about newspaper blogs. Go and have a look and then come back and rip me to bits.
As I say in the piece, I’ve also been invited to write for the Guardian’s new über-blog, Comment is Free. With 200 contributors (199 better known than me) it remains to be seen how prominent my guff will be, but hopefully I’ll be in there somewhere.
I don’t have any details on when the blog actually launches other than it’s very soon. I haven’t seen the site yet either but will give the heads up as soon as I can.
Right, I’m off Up North for the weekend to have a decent pint and one of my Dad’s fry-ups. Back Monday.
