Merry Christmas from LabourList

By Mark Ferguson / @markfergusonuk

2010 has been another momentous year for the party (and for LabourList). I’d like to take this opportunity on behalf of everyone at LabourList to say Merry Christmas to all of our contributors, donors and most importantly, the people who keep us going – you, our readers.
