LabourList Limited is a private company limited by guarantee without share capital. We are independent from but supportive of the Labour Party.
We are funded by donations from many of our readers, our Friends of LabourList community, advertising, event and project sponsorship, trade unions ASLEF, the Fire Brigades Union, Unite the Union, and USDAW, as well as other individual donors. You can find out about how to support LabourList here.

Commercial Policy
We could not exist without the generous support of individual donors, sponsors and advertisers. This enables us to provide our staff with a proper salary and working conditions.
We are proudly and fiercely independent. Our editorial is entirely independent of our funding.
To that end:
- Donors, sponsors and advertisers have no control over editorial content
- Advertising and sponsored content are always clearly labelled
In addition, we need to ensure the long-term financial viability of the site, and we accept donations, advertising and sponsorship on the following basis:
- Donations will be accepted from our readers. There is no maximum or minimum donation size – all that we ask is that donors support our work without interference.
- Advertising and sponsored content may be accepted from any individual or organisation which is not deemed grossly offensive and our acceptance of this absolutely does not imply our agreement or endorsement of any views of advertisers or sponsors.
- We welcome democratic debate and believe that a plurality of views – even where we may disagree – may contribute to the debate.
As well as providing the website, we also organise conferences, debates, sponsored polling and other events and these conditions apply equally across all of our activities.
