Fab 5: Tuesday 2 March 2010

Here are your Fab 5 for today:

  • Lord Ashcroft dominates the headlines. Bagehot explains why the Ashcroft affair matters – Cameron. Sunder Katwala at Next Left is a little more direct in his criticism of the Tory party leader.
  • Nick Robinson, BBC Political Editor, gets excited about the more detailed agreement for the leadership debates.
  • Will Straw of Left Foot Forward blogs about a poll which suggests the public prefer protecting front-line services over “age of austerity” cuts.
  • And Freethinkingeconomist gets increasingly irritated with proponents of a “Robin Hood Tax” on financial transactions.
