Worth a look – six political articles worth reading today

The Times reports that David Cameron would not oppose Tony Blair becoming the first president of the European Union.

Vincent Cable in the Independent says it is "dangerous" to think that the recession is over, and we are seeing "an economists' and financiers' recovery rather than a real one".

Peter Riddell in the Times says that "no messenger can revive a failing government" and that, however good he is, Simon Lewis will have "no more than a marginal impact" as Gordon Brown's new spin doctor.

And Paul Richards at LabourList says Lewis should take his inspiration from the "Let Bartlet be Bartlet" episode of The West Wing.

Alix Mortimer at the People's Republic of Mortimer condemns the Times's decision (with high court support) to name the previously-anonymous police blogger, Night Jack.

But Dizzy Thinks wonders why anyone assumed that anonymity on the internet was a right in the first place.
