Fab 5: Friday 5 February 2010

February 5th, 2010 by Alex Baker

Your final Fab 5 of the week:

  • In this week’s leader article, The Economist subject the Tories’ claim that Britain’s society is broken to scrutiny, and find evidential support “thin”.
  • Mark Thomson and Will Straw blog at Left Foot Forward about the expenses scandal. They find that the worst offenders tended to be those in the safest seats. (Ed – it’d be interesting to see if the results were statistically significant). Meanwhile, Michael White ponders in the Guardian what Parliament will look like after the next election.
  • Paul Waugh of the Evening Standard reveals Tony Blair is going to be given a “central” role in the forthcoming election campaign.
  • Finally, Shamik Das, Young Fabian executive member, posted on this blog last week about Tony Blair’s appearance at the Chilcot enquiry. His post prompted a response from Adam White at the Though Cowards Flinch blog. Read Adam’s response here and Shamik’s original post here.

    • Post to Twitter Post to Plurk Post to Yahoo Buzz Post to Delicious Post to Digg Post to MySpace Post to Ping.fm Post to Reddit Post to StumbleUpon
