Blog 1 Papers 0 It seems that I wasn't the only one covering Ball's Fabian lecture last night. It's just this blog was the first with the news! I put my post on about 11.20am yet you had to wait more than an hour for the Guardian's post from the lovely Ros Taylor. So to get the best political news you'd better boookmark this blog right now.

To be fair I think the quality of her writing was better than mine and you do get a rather nice photo of her. Generally I think Ros is fantastic not least because she has picked me as the winner of her Backbencher column competition and more than once as well.  ¶ 3:17 pm
