[Blogs] Thank you Tom Harris
Labourhome (Free subscription) | 05/10/2008
Tom Harris was (AFAIK) the only minister who took the time and trouble to engage with us here. I didn't agree with much he said, and was particularly worried about the revolving door at the department. Now the 3 top ministers at DfT have all gone (!!) but I think we should thank him for engaging with us - and hopefully he'll be able to say more now.

McCain-Palin Victory: United States Would Be So Over
Chris Paul: Labour of Love (Free subscription) | 4 hours ago
Tom Harris sees one and only one plus side to a Palin victory : The only plus-side to a McCain presidency is that America would have a VP who was just as entertaining as Dan (Just Say Noe) Quayle, though, admittedly, more dangerous. The other thing(s) of course would be that the USA would immediately become a complete and utterly globalised laughing stock. They'd be done for as the one and only super...

Ride Off Into The Sunset With Your Head Held High
Tommy G (Free subscription) | yesterday
I’m not exactly voluble or voluminous in my praise of Labour MPs. So it’s only fair that I pay tribute to this thoroughly admirable post from Tom Harris. Inevitably, this man of great good sense has just been removed from the Government. Hat-tip: Iain Dale

Trains, Planes & Automobiles ... And a New Rail Minister
Iain Dale's Diary (Free subscription) | yesterday
Tom Harris blogs that he is taking the train South and gives his trenchant views on the political correctness culture which is now ubiquitous among environmentalists everywhere. Like him, I'll be damned if I will be ordered to use a train if a plane or a car is a more convenient way of getting to my destination. The railways have indeed become a more attractive form of transport in recent years, mainly...

Cabinet/Government Shuffle Undercard: Guardian
Chris Paul: Labour of Love (Free subscription) | yesterday
Courtesy of the Guardian here's the soft shoe shuffle undercard . Apart from the Caroline Flint demotion there is something similar for Ivan Lewis MP who slides across to International Development. These are the departures in full and I'm not quite sure how Tom Harris managed to corner the market in coverage considering some of the others headed for the back benches: Margaret Hodge (temporarily leaving...

Sarah Palin's Robo-Veep Flow Chart is now available on lots and lots of merchandise . This Daily Kos story posted by the graphic artist adennak themselves seems to be the original source. Though I got it from Tom Harris' blog as credited at my post. LoL site feed

One casualty of the Gordon Brown's reshuffle is my old friend, Tom Harris, now the ex-minister for the railways. By many accounts, he was doing a great job and I think was very enthusiastic for his remit. So why was...

[Blogs] Doesn't Gordon like LabourHome?

How come Tom Harris, perhaps the only minister who wrote with us, the plebs, in LabourHome in recent times, is sacked?

Bad luck for Tom Harris
Raedwald (Free subscription) | 04/10/2008
Tom's a loyal party animal and probably wouldn't agree with the gist of this post, and I can't pretend his blog was ever on my favourites list, but as the comments on his most recent post demonstrate, he was not only a popular minister but highly regarded across the blogosphere. As he returns to the back benches, I wish him well - for Tom and his like are the future of British politics. Centralist...

Tom Harris to leave Government
Caron's Musings (Free subscription) | 04/10/2008
Commiserations to Tom Harris, a fellow Scottish blogger, on his forced exit from the Government. He seems to be a genuine human being and from what he writes on his blog has a great sense of humour and a wife who keeps his feet on the ground. What gets me is how come BBC News 24 are only just revealing this now, when he has had it on his blog since at least 9.40 last night? Keep up at the back.................

And Another Thing... The Sacking of Tom Harris
Iain Dale's Diary (Free subscription) | 04/10/2008
The news that Tom Harris has been sacked from the government - he was a junior Transport Minister - came as a bit of a shock last night. Regular readers will know that I like Tom and have been relentless in promoting his blog as a brilliant example of how an MP (and minister) should blog. But as he wends his way around Sainsbury's this afternoon, Tom may well be regretting setting foot in the world...
