5 top non-Lib Dem LibDig postings to look at

1. Congratulations to David Cameron and Trevor Kavanagh (Alistair Campbell)
“Ali C. is becoming an absolute must-read Labour blogger for me (though I hate his blog design): this is a fantastic piece, nailing Cameron’s image obsession, and his bigger, strategic failure on Europe.” – submitted by stephenftall.
2. How the X Factor twins make the case for electoral reform (Next Left)
Great post by Sunder Katwala: “We look forward to both David Cameron and the Labour first-past-the-post campaign making the case that John and Edward should now be declared X Factor winners. But I think it is right that you need to win a majority to have the X-Factor – and suggest it is a principle from which Westminster might learn.” – submitted by stephenftall.
3. Mail finally deletes comments hailing death (Liberal Conspiracy)
“Sigh. All too predictable.” – submitted by markpack.
4. Removal of David Nutt risks discouraging experts from giving opinion – Times
“Well said.” – submitted by markpack
5. Why women must win the size zero debate – Times Online
“”Ironically, the more women’s horizons expand, the smaller our range of beauty is supposed to be. The idea that we should all conform to a narrow template is not only wrong, it is damaging”” – submitted by markpack
