28 Peter Black AM
29 Blaney’s Blarney
30 ORDOVICIUS

The most interesting points:

As far as I can tell, 28 from the top 30 are political blogs – although several are categorised as “Other”.

Old Holborn is in the top 30 rankings for the first time, as is Peter Black, and Dizzy has jumped to number 6.The resilience of Normblog and Ordovicius is impressive, and Harry’s Place is back at 24. Speculating, Old Holborn is probably in because he published the real name of the characters in the Harringay Child Abuse case, and did his much trailed Walk in Westminster in November, while Peter Black made the headlines with his Waterstones/Patrick Jones story. This is a screenshot of the table for rankings during October for comparison.
