A blogging choice
Being a regular blogger myself, I often read many other blogs on a range of different subjects. Many of the political sites such as Conservative Home and Iain Dale’s Diary (congratulations to Iain on winning Best Conservative Blog at the Conservative Home Blog awards yesterday) are worth reading for political news and developments, often tackling issues in a humorous yet incisive fashion.
As a local Suffolk MP, however, I am also pleased to see so many blogs written by people living in Suffolk, sharing their thoughts, views, and opinions. For example, the “Running in Suffolk” blog charts the travels of a long distance runner in Suffolk who photographs the scenic countryside in the county, or “The All Saints Gazette” which covers local political developments affecting people living in Forest Heath and Newmarket.
I really believe that blogging has built on the technological revolution begun by the internet. Anyone can now set up their own blog page for no cost and begin sharing their views on any topic of their choosing. It gives local communities the opportunity to highlight the issues that matter to them.
As Parliament is in recess from today for a week, I shall not be posting any blog entries. However, during that period, I would encourage you to look at some of national and local blogs, set out below. They really do make for interesting reading:
