Along with what felt like most of the rest of the UK left blogosphere, I spent yesterday at the TUC’s Congress House for Netroots UK. For the most part I was pretty impressed – though as with all conferences like this there were a large number of different events being run concurrently and I only [...]
So here are some of the Third Estate writers’ favourite blog posts this year, from around the web and by each other (hey, so we like how each other write!) Many thanks to everyone who has supported the Third Estate over 2010! January Blairites victoary over Brown means certain defeat – Socialist Unity The Daily [...]
As Labour members receive their ballot papers in the post, stay tuned for The Third Estate’s exclusive interview with Diane Abbott, coming later today.
…a mixture of lefty blogs and some other stuff that caught my eye. Much like always really: Jim Jepps on why seeing the back of NHS Direct might not be the end of the world. Why is Malcolm X like David Cameron? Read Dave Osler to find out. Also at LibCon, Sunny thinks the Guardian [...]

Third Estate readers, on the other hand, are an intelligent bunch. This is why we’re asking you to vote for us in this year’s Total Politics Top [...]
Lot’s of excellent stuff being written at the moment, so I thought I would offer you a little update on what’s caught my eye in and around the red blogosphere. Socialism is the real Big Society, A Very Public Sociologist declares, as he addresses David Cameron’s flagship idea with style and eloquence. Seriously though, why [...]
Worth reading from the past week: The Daily (maybe) rightly points the finger at Nicole Fisher – the protestor whacked last year – for not bothering to turn up to court to testify, making the acquittal of Sergeant Smellie inevitable.

I recently realised that we don’t usually give enough attention to some of the really excellent content around left blogosphere – so here are some of the things that recently caught my eye.
