Left Foot Forward

Biography

Left Foot Forward is a political blog for progressives. They provide evidence-based analysis on British politics, news and policy developments.

They are a non-partisan blog. Because they are progressive and because of the aims they're committed to, they often find themselves in agreement with left of centre policies and politicians. But they are focused purely on the quality of policies and furthering progressive goals, rather than on promoting individual politicians and parties.

They have been inspired by their U.S. sister site, Think Progress, and have therefore adopted their approach to blogging by setting out their own beliefs and categorising their own stories accordingly.

Blog Information

With a superb, clear layout, nicely-categorised posts and a professional sheen oozing from every corner of this left-of-centre blog it certainly looks the part.

And the content, thankfully, lives up to the look.

There are several updates each day providing enough to satiate even the most hungry politico's appetite making this a must-read for all those interested in politics.
