Four blogs have recently joined Ryan’s Liberal Democrat Blogs aggregator:

• Dale Cox – http://liberalendevour.blogspot.com/ – on Wednesday he wrote, “A good day to be a Liberal Democrat”; not much has changed since.
• Gary Watts – http://gwatts4council.wordpress.com/ – the Gary for Glebe Ward blog is about Gary, who is campaigning for Glebe Ward. Ronseal would be proud.
