Labour Briefing

The paper of the Labour left in the 1980s, from London Labour Briefing to the national Labour Briefing, with the local Briefings of Camden, Birmingham, Devon and elsewhere: 130 items, 905 pages, each with its scan and machine-read text.

Alan Thornett in Briefing. Five signed articles, 1984–86, now transcribed in full: The miners' strike and the trade union left (May 1984); Recall the T.U.C.! (March 1985); Bring out Fleet Street! No sell-out! (May 1986); Wapping: build on the ballot victory: Bring out Fleet Street! (July 1986); Victimised miners fight on (July/August 1986). Other writers who later wrote for Socialist Outlook are indexed too.

The collection is not a complete run: most of the national paper is missing. About this archive.
