Quote of the Day

John Kampfner in the Guardian:

“As for the internet, another area of Leveson myopia, that is where the action now is. Many of the most polemical, most-followed bloggers and tweeters hail from the right. This has little to do with overweaning barons. Yet already the cries are going up: do something about it. Try to control it.

Will Miliband win? Will Cameron lose, or will he give yet more ground hours before the vote in order to save face? The left sniffs victory. It may achieve its specific ends, but in taking down its enemy, it will leave a vital principle floundering in its wake.”
