2 Must-Read Blog Posts
What are other Liberal Democrat bloggers saying? Here’s are two posts that have caught the eye from the Liberal Democrat Blogs aggregator:
- Clegg’s Clear Stance on Gaza: Jonathan Fryer writes.
- Day 3281 (again): DOCTOR WHO: The End of Ten (Part One): rumour has it that some Lib Dems are Doctor Who fans; rumour has it too that some believe an elephant is talking to them. If you are in both groups, then this post is for you.
Spotted any other great posts in the last day from blogs that aren’t on the aggregator? Do post up a comment sharing them with us all.
