Fab 5: Monday 18 January 2010

Here are our selection of five articles and posts we recommend reading today:

  • We guest edited LabourList over the weekend as part of the celebrations of our 50th year which kicked off at the Fabian New Year Conference. Vice Chair, Adrian Prandle, summarised the event for LabourList.
  • Paul Waugh of the Evening Standard notes that maths champion for the Tories, Carol Vorderman, would fall foul of the academic requirements the party would seek to impose on new teaching recruits if elected.
  • Mike Smithson of PoliticalBetting.com examines whether or not Labour is being understated in the polls.
  • The BBC’s Robert Peston considers the impact of the imminent takeover of Cadburys on jobs in the UK.
  • Nick Cohen of the Observer argues that the Chilcot Inquiry won’t satisfy those who opposed the Iraq war.

    • Technical issues prevented us from bringing you Fab 5 for much of last week. Apologies.
