A bit of a shame

Iain Dale, he of Iain Dale's Diary and one of the earlier political bloggers with a penchant for the Conservatives, has decided he will stop blogging as of now. I think this is a shame as I found his posts both amusing and erudite. I did not always agree with him even though he is a Conservative, but he was never nasty in the way most left wing bloggers are.

His main reason is because he has now got quite a few irons in the fire and does not have time to dedicate to maintaining the quality of his posts. Also, he said he was getting tired of the back-biting, but I guess that is par for the course in politics!
