Elsewhere, in the Times, Denis MacShane argues that the new expenses regime has turned MPs into petty clerks firmly under the control of the civil service. Writing in the Guardian, the Labour leadership candidate Andy Burnham calls for the introduction of a land value tax and sets out his vision of "aspirational socialism". In international politics, the Wall Street Journal's Karl Rove looks at how Barack Obama's supposed "summer of recovery" became a summer of discontent. And finally, in the Economist, Bagehot says that the Liberal Democrats' lack of populist policies threatens to erode their left-wing support.
