Best UK politics sites

Lib Dem blogs aggregated - a daily smorgasbord of news, views and rants from Lib Dems around the country

Lib Dem Voice - all the Lib Dem news that's fit to print (and some that isn't)

Liberal England - amusingly eclectic mix of culture and politics

Love & Liberty - Alex Wilcock: probably the most eloquently sensible Lib Dem blogger

Millennium Elephant - amusing, original and perceptive in equal measures

Quaequam Blog! - trenchant views from Lib Dem activist James Graham

Lynne Featherstone - the constituency blog of one of the sparkiest Lib Dems MPs

Ming Campbell - hi-tech, but simple: the future of political websites

Centre Forum - the Orange Book think-tank (just don't call it Centre For Um...)

Reform - a small-l liberal think-tank, daring to push the choice agenda in public services

PoliticalBetting.com - informed (and idiosyncratic) views on British politics, and how to make money out of them

Tim Worstall - perceptive free-market economics lightened by regular dissing of Polly Toynbee

Guido Fawkes - occasionally sourced rumour from inside the Westminster hothouse

Iain Dale's Diary - a gossipy, Lib Dem-hating Tory: how could I not recommend it?

18 Doughty Street - political telly for adults (well, Internet geeks anyway)

Conservative Home blog - fascinating insight into the Tory mindset. Check out the Comments sections to see internecine vitriol in full spurt

Polling Blog - in-depth analysis of the polls from YouGov's very own Anthony Wells

Best UK news sites

BBC News - the biggest and (still) the best.

The Guardian - without doubt the best newspaper website, with a must-read Media section.

The Torygraph - little attempt at impartial news. But Boris Johnson is always worth reading.

The Times - poorly laid out website of a paper in sad decline. Daniel Finkelstein and Matthew Parris are always worth reading

The Indy - please, please get rid of your bloody firewall

The Sun - utterly meretricious. But at least it keeps me up-to-date with Big Brother.

The Economist - the free-marketeer's gazette; but also the best digest of world news and politics.

FT.com - the only paper to understand the difference between news and views. Philip Stephens and Martin Wolf are essential.

US news and politics

Political Wire - an outsider's inside take, or an insider's outside take?

Wonkette - the sharpest, funniest political blog in the world.

Slate - trenchant and eclectic opinion. Sign up to Andy Bowers' podcasts.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - brilliantly smart, funny, sassy take on the day's news from a Democrat wise-ass. Shown on More4 daily.

New York Times - especially worthwhile for its Op-Ed columnists (until they bloody firewalled them).

Washington Post - where most of the world's decisions are made.

Los Angeles Times - for a West Coast perspective.

National Public Radio - listen in to the latest US news. Updated daily.

Stuart Craft (IWCA) - a left-wing battler on the wrong side of history. (No longer updated.)
