Launching in May 2026, The Left Lane is an online news and comment platform that is focused on the organised left and other movements of resistance. Organised as a cooperative, we intend to be a critical friend to genuine grassroots movements and parties like Your Party, the Greens and others, chronicling progress and identifying key strategic issues that will influence the development of the new left.

As well as providing coverage of major news events, The Left Lane will place them in context to their relationship to the ongoing development of a new left movement in the UK. Through directly written articles and interviews we will give voice to organisers in communities, workplaces and campaigns. We will be an expression of the diversity of talents within left movements and we will also be collaborative and discursive in publishing comments and contributions from our community to The Left Lane.

The Left Lane is an initiative founded by a like-minded collective of activists and will be led by those who take part in its activities. We are doing this because we care and while we can give our time, we need to share the running costs. That is why we are asking you to chip in.

The funds we are raising here will be used to:

Pay for our website

Pay for our modest start-up costs

Pay for our Zoom account

Pay for our email marketing fees

These funds are being processed by a member of our founding steering committee.
