* All change please on The Bombastic Bedouin.

* Shadow Cabinet reshuffle on Lynne Featherstone MP’s Parliament and Haringey diary

* Congratulations to our local MPs on Mary Reid’s blog.

* Norman Baker on Rob Parsons’ A comfortable place blog.

* Nick Clegg names his first Shadow Cabinet on Jonathan Calder’s Liberal England blog.

* Shadow Cabinet. Who’s up, who’s down (and who should be) on James Graham’s Quaequam Blog!

There’s also generous amounts of coverage of the new Lib Dem team on The Guardian website here, with profiles of many of the party’s leading lights.

There’s also a typically thoughtful piece by Peter Riddell – ‘Nick Clegg should take a leaf out of Paddy Ashdown’s book – cut the waffle’ – in The Times.

  • There’s been good press coverage of the reshuffle – pretty much all of the quality nationals plus the Mail and BBC.

    I’m slightly perplexed by Michael Moore being described by the Mail as a ‘leading light of the Lib Dem left’ though!

  • God, I must apologise; until he was shuffled off this mortal coil, I’d never heard of Michael Moore. If you had asked me the name of our Foreign Affairs spokes, I would have assumed Ming had kept it!
