Britain's first political blog?
Thanks to the Wayback Machine I can bring you the diary I wrote for Whittington, Susan Kramer's cat, during the first London Mayoral election in 2000.
It has some claim to be the first British political blog. Unless, of course, you know different.
Could well be. The earliest UK political web site I knew about was Paul Flynn's. He set that up for the 2001 general election. (http://www.paulflynnmp.co.uk/ is a later reincarnation)
