John’s Labour Blog has for the
second year in a row been declared as the “
Number One Union” blog by
TIGMOO an “
aggregator service for blogs about unions and unionism in the UK” which links to 120 UK union blogs.
TIGMOO ranks the 25 top union blogs and
describes this blog as
1: John's Labour blog (1)
Last year’s top spot retained again for this blog by a UNISON convenor reporting on his work and union issues in general. The blog has a strong focus on Labour party activism through the UNISON Labour Link and on developments for union pensions activists.

The blogs in the TIGMOO network have been ranked according to four equally weighted factors: Traffic ratings generated by Alexa.com, number of posts in the last 8 weeks, number of comments in that time, and the number of inbound links found by Google”.
Please note that TIGMOO also state “
these measures have a huge margin
of error, especially when dealing with smaller sites, and of course measuring quantity doesn’t always predict quality, though all the 25 listed here are certainly well worth checking out”.
TIGMOO started off this rating last year during the TUC annual congress and state that “
This guide is a play on Iain Dale’s Total Politics Guide to Political Blogs, which annually ranks hundreds of blogs from across the political spectrum”
Not that I pay much attention to such stuff – after all - was I at all
bovvered that the
wreakers and splitters at Tory Boy Iain Dales “
Total Politics”
sabotaged my top 100 “
Left Wing” ranking this year?
No, of course not. All the
true bloggers I have ever met have been
honest,
gentile,
mild mannered,
consensual,
polite,
modest,
moderate,
uncompetitive and
contemplative souls, who simply poor
scorn on the very idea of such ranking and league tables and surely agree whole heartedly with
this very sound sentiment below (but nothing else)
"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same"
