The Parallax Brief would like to apologise for his three week absence. This was primarily due to illness followed by an extended period of business travel, during which finding time to post was impossible.
However, starting tomorrow, regular service will resume, with the Parallax Brief offering his usual brand of unapologetically polemic analysis of UK politics, foreign policy, defence and economics between now and the election.
Hope to see you tomorrow morning.
Modern technology doesn’t just allow opinionated grumps like the Parallax Brief to distribute his brazenly subjective views on British politics to millions twos on the web, but also means that there is absolutely no excuse for missing anything he writes.
First, all the Parallax Brief’s posts are linked on the mind-meltingly good Think Politics Twitter feed.
Second, rather than visiting this site every day for updates, you can get Parallax Brief blog posts sent straight to your browser or email via RSS. Just click either on “RSS”, written immediately after “the Parallax Brief”, in the box to the right titled “Authors”, or on the big orange thingy to the right, and you’ll never miss another post.
If you’re not familiar with RSS, you should be, because it there’s so much information out there on the net, that it needs organizing, and RSS/Atom is one of the best ways to keep in touch with your favourite sites. If you’d like to know more, click here for more instructions.

The Parallax Brief is sure that the biggest concern for the average person in Britain is missing one of the brilliant posts on this blog. But there’s no need to sit with the Think Politics blog open, sweatily punching refresh every few seconds. Modern technology can do the work for you.
First, all the Parallax Brief’s posts are linked on the mind-meltingly good Think Politics Twitter feed.
Alternatively (or additionally if you’re a belt and braces kind of chap) you could complete the simple task of subscribing to one of our RSS feeds. For the uninitiated, RSS sends something a little like an email to an RSS reader as soon as a blog post is published. You’ll then be able to read the full text in the reader or follow a link to the blog itself. The most recent versions of all the major browsers – except Google Chrome – all have built-in RSS readers, as does the Microsoft Outlook email software. You can even set up a Google RSS reader account, if you prefer something accessible in multiple places.
Either way, it’s a very simple process. In the right hand column there’s a box titled “Authors”. Click on the word RSS next to “The Parallax Brief”, and you’ll be whisked to the subscribe page, where you can chose your RSS reader client, and then punch the subscribe button. And hey presto! Instant Parallax Brief. No email addresses or other information is needed. It really is just a case of hitting “subscribe”.
Meantime, if you’re at all interested in British politics and public policy, you’ll probably want to keep up with the launch schedule of Think Politics proper, a project which the Parallax Brief’s superiors tell him is going to have an big impact on the world of British politics news and public policy information. To do this, click on the orange RSS button that sits at the far right hand side of the address bar in your browser, and follow the same subscription process. That way, you’ll get the posts written by both the Parallax Brief and Think Politics slave drivers management.
Really, it couldn’t be easier.
