Top 10 blogs
There’s been a spate of “top 10 blog” lists in the political blogosphere recently. So here, in no particular order, are mine (or, at least, my-top-10-blogs-based-in-the-UK-and-with-an-economic-bent):
- Duncan’s Economic Blog (Duncan Weldon)
- The Bickerstaffe Record (Paul Cotterill)
- Tax Research UK (Richard Murphy)
- Touchstone Blog (TUC)
- Stumbling and Mumbling (Chris Dillow)
- Donpaskini (Don Paskini)
- Excuse Me Whilst I Step Outside (Charlie McMenamin)
- Labour and Capital (Tom Powdrill)
- Next Left (Fabian Society)
- Andreas’ Blog (Andreas Paterson)
And don’t forget the mighty Liberal Conspiracy - more of a blog of blogs and so not included above.
Apart from a few of the contributors to the Touchstone and Next Left blogs, the above are all men. Is that a comment on economists? Bloggers? Me?

Crickey. I’m very flattered to be included in anyone’s list ( if only my Mum had a blog….), but especially amongst such a high quality field, many of whom I voted for myself.

And thanks from Touchstone too.

I’ve just discovered - because I’m a bit slow - that the workers occupying the Vestas factory on the isle of Wight have their own blog. http://savevestas.wordpress.com/. Is it too late to suggest that it would be a nice gesture to for for them if you haven’t already voted?
