On the eve of the G20 protests, a group of activists in the UK has launched a new website to discuss strategy for the British Left.

The blog, Left Luggage, has been formed by a coalition of community organisers and trade union shop-stewards.

It aims to facilitate critical discussion on the strategies currently pursued by the Left and to generate alternatives.

A spokesman said: “We hope to build links and share ideas and experiences with others on the Left.

“Our primary goal is to develop working class self-organisation and to reorientate the Left towards this aim. We also aim to encourage a culture of robust self-criticism and internal democracy.”

The site is independent and run on non-sectarian lines and welcomes contributions from activists from across the Left.

Articles to date include a critique of the strategy behind the G20 mobilisations and a broader analysis of the Left’s shortcomings.
