Paul Linford is an experienced political writer and blogger now based in Derbyshire, UK. Between 1995 and 2004 he worked as a parliamentary lobby journalist at Westminster, covering national politics at the height of the Blair years for the South Wales Echo and The Journal, Newcastle.

He also contributed to the annual Guides to Political Blogging from 2007-2009, to the Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze, and to Total Politics magazine where he wrote the Where Are They Now column focusing on the post-Westminster careers of former MPs.’
In addition to his current 'day job' as editor/publisher of the journalism website, HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk, he continues to write a weekly political column for his old paper, The Journal. Married with two children aged seven and four, he lives in the historic Derbyshire mill town of Belper where his interests include DIY, gardening, beer and country walks.
