Today sees the launch of a new online resource for the British left. The New Left Project will provide analysis, commentary, discussion and debate for anyone concerned about climate change, inequality, Western foreign policy and a host of other issues.

In our first set of original pieces, Jamie Stern-Weiner examines how the crises in Haiti and Gaza reflect the politics of humanitarianism, we chat with Noam Chomsky about nuclear proliferation, climate change, Haiti and the financial crisis, David Wearing takes on the myths surrounding debate on the British economy, and author and activist Paul Street talks to us in depth about the state of US politics one year on from the inauguration of Barack Obama. Please go to our website (see below) to read the full interview.

As well as a steady stream of original content, NLP will provide cross- posting from leading blogs on the UK left, as well as links to the best political comment and analysis from around the world.

Please check out the new site, bookmark us, tell your friends, and let us have any feedback. Submissions of original material are always welcome.

Best wishes

The NLP team
