This may not be a popular view but David Miliband's blog has become one of my favourites. I don't, of course, agree with a lot of what he writes but I respect his attempt to explain to the British people what their Foreign Secretary is doing and saying. I hope William Hague will do the same from 2010. Topics that interest a foreign policy enthusiast like me - and would never be covered by the mainstream media - become accessible. In recent posts he has noted progress in Basra, an all-party inquiry into anti-Semitism and a set piece lecture he gave on the geopolitics of carbon dependence. The blog is here.
