Political Scrapbook is a left wing political blog. The site was described as "influential" by The Independent[1] as and is viewed as part of a cohort of British left-wing blogs which have attracted significant interest from the media.[2] The site has been likened to Paul Staines' anti-establishment Guido Fawkes blog,[3] although Staines has claimed "It's hard to create a leftwing version of me because of political correctness."[4] The site is currently ranked by Wikio as the 7th most influential political blog in the UK[5] and was voted as Total Politics' 8th best left-wing blog in 2010.[6]
Political Scrapbook is edited by Laurence Durnan, who stated he set the site up "to make life difficult for the right".[7]
