So my fellow political bloggers Recess Monkey and Honourable Fiend are joining Blunkett in resignation. The young primate is off to get a real job instead of stuffing envelopes for Linda Perham MP, if you can call writing for The Tribune a real job. That’s only if he doesn’t manage to unseat Julian Brazier MP in Canterbury. The Honourable Fiend is off to spend more time with his modem. So no point nominating either of them for the best political blog award.

Will their blogs continue?

UPDATE : The Big Blunkett blog is shutting up shop now its raison d etre is gone.
