Secretary of State for England launches blog
The Secretary of State for England:
Now I’m Secretary of State for England I’m going to carry on blogging and I look forward to having a dialogue about the really important issues that face our country.
I’m very proud to have been appointed as the Secretary of State. I will be England’s man in the Cabinet, representing and defending England’s interests at the highest levels.
I will work with anyone who wants to advance our interests. But I will also vigorously oppose ideas and actions that will damage England and her people. I love England. I am passionate about its past and optimistic about its future. No political party has a monopoly on patriotism and I will challenge anyone who says otherwise. We have a great diversity in England but we can all be united by the Cross of St George.
I am determined to work to create the best chances for England, its employers and its employees. As Secretary of State I will be relentless in my pursuit in the interests of England. I will be out and about, criss-crossing the country. Travelling from north to south, to cities, towns and villages to meet businesses and voluntary groups, to visit workplaces and factories, to host round-tables and hold debates. I will listen, learn and act. I will passionately put the case for our current constitutional settlement. Ours is a great nation, with a proud history and a great future. I look forward to meeting you and talking to you – and most of all hearing from you. This is the first of what will be a regular blog.
Just kidding....That was the Secretary of State for Scotland, New Labour's Jim Murphy on his blog launch.
UPDATE
The "blog", if you can call it that, is now available here.

Bah - you had my jaw dropping
Bah - you had my jaw dropping there.
Sadly there isn't a single English MP who talks like that about England.
I'd thoght perhaps Gordon was
I'd thoght perhaps Gordon was going do some fairness he keeps on harping on about, no it was not to be.
You must remember though,
You must remember though, that the only reason that Jim Murphy is so ultra-patriotic about Scotland is because of the SNP.
His real love is Britain and if Brown proposed a Bill to abolish Scotland an all things Scottish to save their beloved Britain then Murphy would be first to vote for it.
