That was quick!

Miliband's back.

Nothing like slapping a new logo on your existing blog and playing with URL redirects to get a quick result. Who cares if the colour scheme is still that of your old employer? (OK, OK. I know it's an 'interim' measure.)

Will Miliband be back?

Labour’s chief glogger David Miliband’s got a new job and publishes an ‘au revoir’ within hours of the news. He's only been blogging since 2nd January (following a New Year's resolution).

His new role as Environment Secretary means he no can longer exists as part of The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister’s site. This’ll be a good test of which Government department is up for a bit of blogging and which isn’t. Better keep an eye on the Defra site to see if he resurfaces. I reckon they’ll be up for it.

I’ve enjoyed some of the debate around David’s presence in the online community even more than his posts, but overall feel that the transparency he has tried to inject into the political machine – no matter how small – has been a breath of fresh air. (Which is something that the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs should be all in favour of...)

Better back in the closet

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I was still an anonymous blogger. Back then, when something caught my eye that was the perfect target for comment, I could say what I really thought.

Nowadays I feel I've got to be a little more professional.

Can I just leave it to you to imagine what I might have said about this?
