I have taken The Wardman Wire feed out of the Welsh Political News and Scottish Political News aggregation for the time being to prevent “non-Scottish” and “non-Welsh” articles coming through on those sites.

I’m compling the roundup for Sunday 15th July.

This is a slice of outstanding writing in the British blogosphere on any subject.

I’m looking for submissions via “britblog at gmail dot com”.

I’m particularly interested in smaller and local blogs this week. Self-nominations are acceptable.

So … get nominating.

A quick and quiet announcement that another regional blog aggregator has gone live as a Beta test site.

I made politics-wales.co.uk live last night.

The RSS feed address is:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/politics-wales

The feed and the site are still subject to fairly major change, but these addresses will stay constant. At present the selection of feeds is based on about 50 from the sidebars of various blogs. Changes will include:

The “First 100 Days” have started in earnest, and we have a proposed package of Constitutional Reform from Gordon Brown.

His reforms include some lessons from other European Countries, and some from North America.

George Bush Video Archive

Meet politicalvideo.org

The Whitehouse has a huge amount of video available on its website.

Jay Dedman and others have built the George Bush Video Archive. It stores no less than 1695 videos and 495 hours of video.

And it has all been done without a cent of public funds - voluntarily.

In Gordon Brown’s revamped Cabinet, both the Scottish and Welsh portfolios are combined with other departments:

• Defence and Scotland: Des Browne
• Wales/Work and Pensions: Peter Hain

There are also ministers for all the regions except London, which is arguably the most important one.
