In Praise of the Brogan Blog


Benedict Brogan's blog is becoming required reading. When he started blogging he only posted every few days. The duck has now taken to the water.

What he's really good at doing is writing stuff which he'd never get into the Daily Mail but which for political people is fascinating nonetheless. Take the three entries he's written today on Gordon's first day of campaigning. First is his ANALYSIS of who'll be doing what in a Brown Number Ten - far more insight than I have seen in any of the left leaning papers or the New Statesman. Next up is his description of AUTOCUE-GATE and the finally his DESCRIPTION of Day One of the Brown campaign. Bookmark him.

" ON TOP WITH BROWN
I went this morning to his campaign launch and it was rather refreshing affair.

- it was an interesting straight forward inaugural moment. "

I agree, Ben Brogan "gets" blogging. But he is the only national newspaper pol ed who does.
