Calling all guest editors - no comments

I'm looking out for people - ideally other Labour-supporting bloggers - to act as guest editors. Not that I'm boring or anything.

Specifically, if someone fancied doing a weekly roundup of the best of the web, a selection of their favourite politics-oriented posts, or an editorial on a particular theme (e.g. ID cards, housing policy), full of links to useful posts, then it would be just what I'm looking for.

Drop me a line if you're interested and want to know more. Hopefully we'll get someone on board in the next few days so that they can entertain us all on Friday 3rd June with their handiwork. If two people get in touch, the second person can do next week, or else work on something different to the first person. I'm afraid I reserve the right to give preference to well-established bloggers with a track record of great posts, if any of these people fancy blackening their reputation by association with us!

It'll be fairly free and easy. I think gaps of a week should give people enough time to come up with something, and people can help out weekly or just once.

As regards tone, I'd prefer something thoughtful rather than scurrilous. Ad hominem doesn't work well for me, especially if it's one of those very boring anti-Bliar pieces that every other blog seems to have nowadays.

Whether you consider yourself a 'liberal interventionist', a 'social democrat', a 'middle-class leftie', a 'working-class stalwart', a 'centre/left progressive', or 'high-minded philosopher type', these positions are all perfectly acceptable.

Hope to hear from some of you!
