A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
Weekly Worker, journal of the Communist Party of Great Britain, has an admirably open debate policy regarding its letters page.

Excellent letter. If only the Graun or Torygraph could provide the same levels of amusement, I might start buying them again.

it's true and anyone reading it can see that letters can get published in Weekly Worker (I have had a few myself, critical of the CPGB-PC communist party of GB - provisional cttee), but it also has to be said that the editors of that paper will change the character of 'oppositional' letters often by omission
to suit themselves
