UPDATE (March 1 2012): I’ve collected any feeds available from the blogs below into this bundle which you can follow on Google Reader. The feeds are also aggregated on the new Help Me Investigate Welfare Facebook page.
More from the excellent blog The Void: this time a hugely comprehensive list of various communities that have largely formed in response to changes to the welfare system. I’ll try to summarise them in a list here – if anyone wants to compile a Google bundle, I’m sure a lot of people would be grateful (I’ll try to do it myself at some point):
