Tuesday Afternoon Links

This and that for your Tuesday reading.

- Yes, there's plenty of reason for outrage that the Cons are selling access to cabinet ministers through a high-priced club. But this isn't the first time Con cabinet ministers have dedicated their profile to the interests of reactionary interest groups, and it surely won't be the last.
