News from Labour Matters

Happy Christmas to all our readers and contributors

Labour Matters wishes all our readers and contributors a very, very Happy Christmas.

Christmas is a time of goodwill to all and a time to spend time with your family, if you are able. Spare a thought for others who are less fortunate than you if you can – look in on those who might be alone; don’t neglect your pets; and, if you can afford it, consider donating to charity.

A Merry Christmas to you and our troops serving overseas.

We expect contributions to be light over the festive season, but will continue to publish any contributions received.

Thank you for all of your support during 2008. Created in May this year, the number of readers we enjoyed in the first month of operation was on average in December surpassed daily. In the last six months Labour Matters has received 746,305 hits. We thank our contributors for this success and hope that 2009 will see many more joining Labour Matters in providing Labour news via the Web.

We leave you with Tom Harris MP’s number 1 Christmas song. Go argue with him if you don’t agree!
