Tom Harris MP

Tom Harris until very recently was the Rail Minister at the Department for Transport.  He was and is also one the most engaging political bloggers currently writing.  His style is informal and personal, yet he manages to be very political and informative about the workings of government.

He wrote an article about getting sacked as a minister and addressed the obvious question of whether his blog had contributed to it.  He isn’t exactly unequivocal, but interestingly uses his blog to point the finger subtlely at what he believes is the real reason.  Surprisingly out of the 27 comments so far only one person picked up on it, but the support for his blog is unsurprisingly unanimous.
