LabourList

LabourList launched in January 2009 as an independent online publication covering the Labour Party, its internal politics, trade-union movement, and centre-left policy debate. Founded by Mark Ferguson, who edited it until 2018, it publishes news, commentary, and polling analysis aimed at Labour members, party workers, and political professionals with an interest in the Labour ecosystem. It is not owned by the Labour Party or trade unions and positions itself as independent comment, though its readership and editorial focus are concentrated within the Labour-aligned audience. LabourList is a standard citation in Lowdown briefings when internal Labour polling data or PLP voting-intention figures are reported, including in the U#8 report on the 96-103 PLP split on the leadership question.
