Almost all the top 25 most-shared web articles about the UK election are in support of Labour and Jeremy Corbyn, research conducted for the Guardian by the web analytics company Kaleida has revealed.

Since Theresa May called the general election on 18 April, alternative news sites run from bedrooms miles from the much-derided “Westminster bubble” have emerged as one of the most potent forces in campaign news sharing.

Kaleida’s analysis shows two of the three most-shared pieces were written by Thomas Clark, who publishes left-leaning articles from his Yorkshire home under the name Another Angry Voice.

One post from Clark – “How many of Jeremy Corbyn’s policies do you actually disagree with?” – has been shared more than 102,000 times on Facebook so far, according to Kaleida. The most-shared pieces by the BBC and the Guardian trailed not just this, but two of Clark’s other posts: “Why you need to speak to someone who works in the NHS” and “30 things you should know about the Tory record”.



The only articles in the top 25 that either do not have an overt pro-Labour stance or are not about traditionally strong leftwing issues are neutral stories in the mainstream media about voter registration, polling results, or controversial Conservative policies.
