Yes blogging is alive an well across the pond. There is a very healthy blogging community over there, and rumor has it...they read a certain book and give it out as an award...to the winner!

Unlike the US, there is a much more diverse political environment in which the blogs thrive over there.

A very helpful guide (by a Conservative) to the top 100 blogs, divided into Conservative, Labour, Liberal and unaligned can be found below the fold.

This pdf file provides an excellent source of blogs of a wide variety.

The top 25:

1 Guido Fawkes: Subversive gossip. Consistently provocative - the press chases his stories
2 Conservative Home: All encompassing analysis of Conservative politics and policy
3 Iain Dale: Commentary and gossip from a Conservative `A' Lister - often makes the news
4 Liberal Democrat Voice: New kid on the LibDem block - seeks to emulate ConservativeHome.com
5 Kerron Cross: Labour's Iain Dale, but funnier. Gossip from inside the Palace of Westminster
6 Political Betting: More than a betting blog. Its regualr posters offer insight and a bit of gossip
7 Burning our Money: Wat Tyler caustically analyses how the government is wasting our money
8 Niles's Blog: Alex Foster's mix of personal diary, LibDem politics and general musings
9 NHS Blog Doctor: Dr Crippen's day to day experience as a GP in the NHS - horrifying stuff
10 Paul Linford: Regional lobby journalist based in Derbyshire whose writing is like fine wine
11 Boris Johnson: Boris posts his articles and musings from his House of Commons office
12 Adam Boulton: Sky News's prolific political editor. Living proof that everyone has time to blog
13 Beau Bo D'Or: Satirical political photoblog par excellence
14 Bloggerheads: Tim Ireland's explosive site which delights in attacking just about everyone
15 Liberal Review: LibDem politics and culture - not just policy stuff but reviews too
16 Dizzy Thinks: Influential and newsbreaking Tory blog - thoughtful rather than ranting
17 Bob Piper: Old Labour and proud of it. The Tyrannasaurus Rex of Labour blogs
18 Slugger O'Toole: The best blog in Northern Ireland. Non partisan, it covers politics & culture
19 Chicken Yoghurt: Political critique from Brighton. Leftish in outlook, but not party political
20 Adam Smith Institite: Libertarian commentary as well as the umissable Joke of the Day
21 Stephen Pollard: Superb commentary from the Spurs & Israel supporting Mail & Times writer
22 Tim Worstall: The granddaddy of prolific political blogging - independent minded
23 Clive Davis: Incisive mid atlantic commentary from a right of centre perspective
24 Harry's Place : The blog meeting place for lefties all over Britain
25 Rachel from North London: 7-7 victim Rachel has broadened her blog from her 7-7 experience
