Blogfather

For years Iain Dale was the unrivalled father of the blogosphere, bringing his readers all the gossip from the Westminster Village with Iain Dale s Diary. From his fight in Norfolk North to running the David Davis leadership campaign, from the Blair/Brown rifts to Coalition politics, Iain Dale always had something to say - whether it was popular or not. The Blogfather brings together some of Iain s most memorable blogs, showcasing his trademark gossip, humour, and acid tongue. With blog entries exposing the dirty spin tactics of New Labour, right through to his tour of the TV studios advocating a Coalition Government, this is a unique insight into the political world. It also contains some of Iain s more personal and moving entries during the good times and the bad of recent years, particularly a blog on the passing of his beloved dog Gio.
