A list of the top mainstream media blogs on politics. Interesting to see which titles are doing best in this list – and a surprise, too.

I'm fascinated that not only is political blogging seen to be on the rise the UK, someone thinks there's a business in printing a book on it. I suspect the book may be more profitable than the blogs themselves, mind you.

"The consequence of all this insider chat is that fewer and fewer people can follow extremely important goings-on. People are tuning out what is the most important story of our lives, which is being delivered incrementally by a number of very smart people, nearly all of them working exclusively online, to a small audience of people who are financially educated enough to understand.

They have been the defining differences introduced by a Scottish Government in the last decade: free personal and nursing care, the abolition of tuition fees and the rejection of targets and use of the private sector in health. All those moves have played well with Scots voters.

Worse, England is doing better than Scotland on maths and science scores, while overall GCSE performance has risen rapidly to equal Scotland’s, in its equivalent qualifications. “It could be,” says Lindsay Paterson, professor of education policy at Edinburgh university, “that the greater competitiveness and specialisation of English secondary schooling has introduced a dynamic of emulation and improvement which the more defensive policies of Scotland and Wales are not matching.”

Peter Preston proposes that newsgathering be funded through a new broadband tax, but not for "bloggers or celebrity chat: just serious, factual stuff". Well, I guess it would be easier than *persuading* people to pay for news.

Staggeringly, Creamola Foam was Scottish.

"So the battle lines are being drawn between opposing groups of companies and also according to radically different strategies and philosophies. The opposing forces are polarized; the opening part of the game is over. Now the middlegame — and the carnage — begins on a grand scale."
