Labour Briefing facts for kids
Labour Briefing is a monthly magazine about politics in the United Kingdom. It is made by people who are part of the British Labour Party.
What is Labour Briefing?
Labour Briefing is a magazine that comes out every month. It shares ideas and news from members of the Labour Party, which is one of the main political groups in the UK. The magazine helps people understand different views within the party.
How it Started
The magazine began in 1980. Back then, it was called London Labour Briefing. It was started by members of the Labour Party in London.
Changes Over the Years
During the 1990s, London Labour Briefing became less popular. This happened as a part of the Labour Party called "New Labour" grew stronger. Also, decisions inside the Labour Party started to be made by fewer people at the top. This meant that people who were very active in the party had less influence.
The magazine changed its name several times. It was first renamed Labour Briefing. Then it became Labour Left Briefing. In 2008, it went back to being called Labour Briefing. This happened when it joined with another publication called Voice of the Unions.
What it Stands For
Today, Labour Briefing supports a group of politicians in the Labour Party called the Socialist Campaign Group. This group includes Members of Parliament who believe in socialist ideas. The magazine's main goal is to help connect and grow local groups that support these ideas across the country.
