Liberal Conspiracy was a British left-wing political blog established in November 2007 and edited by Sunny Hundal. Writing in The Guardian , Hundal claimed he set up the site to help "think past single-issue campaigns and work together to push a progressive agenda for Britain ... We have to rebuild the grassroots and translate that into political action by using the web". [1]

Content has been produced by about 250 contributors, and at its peak the blog recorded 180,000 unique visitors in July 2011, as reported by Hundal to website journalism.co.uk. [2] The site was designed by Hundal and Robert Sharp. [3]

On 25 October 2013 Sunny Hundal announced that he no longer had the time to maintain Liberal Conspiracy as a daily-updated blog, and that "the market for opinion is over-saturated", so the website would become an occasionally updated personal blog. [2] It remained available in archived form with no new entries and no commenting setup until 21 September 2021, at which point it entirely dissolved. [4]
