David Milliband, the Minister for Local Government, has a blog.

CfPS Blog
The Centre for Public Scrutiny (CfPS) has a blog which is regularly updated.

That "all politics is local" quote is often attributed to larger-than-life US politician Tip O'Neill - here's an interesting blog post on just that quote revealing that Tip got the advice from his father and learned it the hard way.
