It’s come round quick to that time of the month when we look at the newest (and newish) socialist, left and labour movement blogs to have burst into being. I make it 22 blogs all told. Understandably with the high profile student occupations blogs in some way related to anti-cuts protesting are starting to come

LibDem blogs is the cental pillar of the Lib Dem blogosphere. Its communual nature is emblematic of the LibDems. Everybody gets a fair whack and new blogs get the prominence they wouldn't otherwise achieve. Yes, I suppose I could create a Google reader list to track the blogs I want to view, but I would miss the new ones and interesting posts which pop up unexpectedly from some quarters.Ryan

Many of us read what the opposition blogs produce, some then go on to write about their talking points, and even more link their own blogs to 'the enemy'. All harmless fun? Not a bit of it, as any Internet consultant would tell you, should you ask. I know because I am one. This lack of understanding is in some ways a mirror of Labour's wider communications problem, the difference is...

Has anyone else noticed the Epolitix "Best of the Blogs" round up has become the domain of just a handful of blogs with nobody else getting a look in ? It appears Danny Finkelstein only has to break wind to get in the "Best of the Blogs" whilst the other regulars appear to be The Coffee House blog, Conservative Home, Labour Home and Boulton and Co. What is a great shame is that Epolitix used to li...

I did promise that they wouldn't all be Tory blogs, so I am going to start with a Labour Blog.Kezia Dugdale has the following on her profile:Kezia is a Scottish Labour Party activist in Edinburgh where she lives ...

I asked in the survey how often you read various blogs. I list below all the ones more than 5% of you read at least once a day. It's interesting that many people think all blog readers read the same blogs. I think this is much less true now than it used to be. Blogs now have a much more diverse readership. Guido Fawkes 67% Spectator Coffee House 31% Conservative Home 30% PoliticalBetting.com ...

"We are witnessing a dangerous corrosion in our political culture... Perhaps because of the nature of the technology, there is a tendency for political blogs to have a 'Samizdat' style. The most popular blogs are rightwing, ranging from the considered Tory views of Iain Dale, to the vicious nihilism of Guido Fawkes. Perhaps this is simply anti-establishment. Blogs have only existed under...
