As Editor of Liberal Democrat Voice, one of the top political blogs in the UK, and an award-winning blogger, I appear frequently in the media – in print, online and in person – and regularly speak at conferences and seminars on British politics and the impact of new media.

I have hosted, chaired and spoken at party conference events, and various seminars and conferences on British politics and on the impact of new media.

What Politics.co.uk says about StephenTall.org:
This blog from the editor of Lib Dem Voice is full to the brim with links, interaction and detailed, well-written posts. Its fairly lengthy posts are updated with an alarming regularity leaving us to wonder when it is Stephen finds time to do anything else. It’s a little Lib Dem centric but don’t let that put you off, the content is well-researched and full of interesting titbits from the world of politics. Easy to use and with a clean, nice look this – as perhaps is to be expected from the editor of Lib Dem Voice – is one of the top political blogs going.
Rating: 10/10
