Cabinet Minister Promoted, Keeps Blogging

Yesterday, Neville Hobson pointed out that David Miliband, the blogging Cabinet Minister, had been promoted in Tony Blair’s Cabinet Shuffle. Miliband posted to his blog that, “I’m now Environment Secretary – so this blog will no longer exist at its current URL and I’m afraid this means we can’t post any more comments on this site. … But I’m very much hoping this won’t be the end of my presence on the blogosphere…please keep an eye out.”

Well, good news. Within seven hours, Miliband was back in business at his new blog address.

A politician worth watching. Both for what he does as a Minister and as a blogger who explores the potential for social media to better connect government with its constituents.
