Six of the Best 90

The death of David Cameron's father today has led Stephen Glenn, the writer of Stephen's Liberal Journal, to remember the death of his own father.

Good news from Waltham Forest, where the Liberal Democrats have gained a seat from Labour. There has not been a by-election: the seat changed hands because a Hugh Court judge ordered a recount of the result declared on 6 May in High Street Ward. Helen Duffett on Liberal Democrat Voice has the details.

Eaten by Missionaries point us to a BBC Parliament programme on coalitions in British politics: "The best and most relevant advice for Liberal Democrat seems to be to follow the example of the Labour party in both wartime coalitions by continuing to campaign at constituency level no matter what is happening nationally. But perhaps we know that already."

The last days of the Welsh Streets in Liverpool are marked by Unlocking the Potential of Empty Homes.

The Bureau of Sabotage mourns the passing of the British film director Clive Donner, whose 1968 film Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush supplies our illustration.

Northamptonshire played first-class games at Kettering between 1923 and 1971. Flannelled Fools remembers some of the highlights.
