You can make all the difference
Left Foot Forward has big plans to provide our most comprehensive coverage of party conference season ever.
This year, we’re planning on reporting live from:
- Labour Party Conference in Liverpool
- Liberal Democrat Conference in Brighton
- Green Party Conference in Manchester
- TUC Congress in Brighton
And for the first time ever, we’re hoping to report on the ground from Reform UK’s Conference too.
To deliver this coverage – the most extensive in Left Foot Forward’s history – we need to raise £1,500.
Can you make it happen?
The Labour Party will be holding its first conference while in government since 2009. Keir Starmer will face his first conference speech as prime minister. The event will be filled with ideas, discussion on government policy and new MPs trying to make their mark.
As for the Liberal Democrats, they’ll be celebrating their best ever general election success and setting out what the party looks like now it is a significant force in parliament again. There are dozens of new Lib Dem MPs in parliament, and we intend to bring you interviews with some of the party’s rising stars.
Likewise, the Green Party has new MPs finding their feet in parliament. For the first time in its history, the Green Party has more than one MP, and party members will discussing what their future looks like now that they have taken a step closer to mainstream politics.
With many trade unions having actively campaigned for Keir Starmer to become prime minister, this year’s TUC Congress will be an important one. You’ll get an insight into how the trade union movement responds and relates to a Labour government.
Meanwhile, Reform UK’s conference in Birmingham will mark the first time Nigel Farage has entered one of his parties’ conferences an elected MP. The conference will reveal how the right wing populist party’s strategy might be shifting now it has representation in the House of Commons. We’ll bring you up to date on what the right are up to.
These are major moments for the future of politics, trade unions and the UK. While other outlets treat these conferences like soap operas, Left Foot Forward treats them seriously.
You can make sure the public hear the key debates and developments bubbling away in the UK’s progressive parties, how the trade union movement is changing and what Farage’s latest outfit has planned.
If just 150 people donate £10, you’ll help deliver Left Foot Forward’s trademark hard-hitting news and analysis straight from the floor of party conferences.
Your kind donation will help deliver:
- A dedicated Left Foot Forward reporter on the ground at the Green Party, Lib Dem, Reform UK and Labour conferences, and at TUC Congress
- Detailed interviews with key players in the UK’s progressive parties – party leaders, MPs, activists and trade union general secretaries
- A critical eye on Reform UK – not the fawning coverage so much of the media delivers
- All the latest news and developments from each conference – which policies passed, what the major debates were and how frontbenchers are taking their parties forward
- Analysis of what each conference means for British politics and the Left
This will only be possible with your help.
This is urgent.
In order to ensure we can send a reporter to each of the conferences, we need to secure £1.500 by 3pm on Tuesday 3 September.

Thank you for your generous support and everything you do to help build a better media.
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That’s why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward’s work.
We still need another 117 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.
