Politics Live blog - readers' edition: Friday 5 December

I’m not writing my usual Politics Live blog today but, as an alternative, here’s Politics Live: readers’ edition. It’s intended to be a place where you can catch up with the latest news and find links to good politics blogs and articles on the web.

Please feel free to use this as somewhere you can comment on any of the day’s political stories - just as you do during the daily blog. It would be particularly useful for readers to flag up new material in the comments - breaking news or blogposts or tweets that are worth passing on because someone is going to find them interesting.

All today’s Guardian politics stories are here, and all the politics stories filed yesterday, including some in today’s paper, are here.
