About London Progressive Journal
London Progressive Journal is a UK-based weekly online magazine
covering domestic and international current affairs from a left
perspective. We are not affiliated to any political party and the
range of opinion on our pages is therefore relatively diverse –
some of our contributors are Labour supporters of a social democratic
or liberal political persuasion, while others are avowed Marxists.
In response to an increasingly stale mainstream media, our aim is
to provide an intelligent, critical and accessible discourse on the
key issues facing Britain and the world today. Since its inception
in January 2008, the magazine has featured interviews with a number
of prominent activists and political figures, including Howard Zinn,
Mordechai Vanunu, John Pilger and John McDonnell MP.
