Bold ideas for
a Labour government

In Labour’s wilderness years, Labour Together was founded by a group of MPs fighting to make the party electable again. Today, Labour Together is a think tank offering bold ideas for Britain under a Labour government.

  • "Labour Together arrived when our party needed it most. Since then, it has continued to bring the stories and values of voters we’ve taken for granted into the heart of Labour’s thinking. It has become an energetic space for bold ideas about how to make Britain a stronger, more secure and prosperous country."

    Rachel Reeves MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer

  • "Labour Together played a decisive role in Labour’s recovery after the 2019 election defeat. Now it will play an even more important role in generating the ideas we need for Britain’s renewal."

    Wes Streeting MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care

  • "With a deep focus on the voters – who they are, what they think, what they value – Labour Together ensures that Labour will never again lose touch with the people we exist to serve."

    Shabana Mahmood MP, Secretary of State for Justice

  • "In its past, Labour Together reconnected Labour with voters it had abandoned. Now, Labour Together is helping to build a politics for Labour that is rooted in security: for families, for communities and for the country itself."

    Steve Reed MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

  • "Labour Together may be the most exciting new think tank on the centre-left - relentless in its ambition not just to help shape a government, but to build a new politics that is bold, reformist, and rooted in the age we live in. One this country badly needs."

    Darren Jones MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury

  • "The Labour Party was created to represent working people. By bringing the Labour movement together around ambitious ideas for government, Labour Together is helping to ensure the interests and values of working people stay central to everything Labour says and does."

    John Healey MP, Secretary of State for Defence

  • "When we were at our lowest, Labour Together stepped up to bring our party together, and chart a path back to power. Now, under Josh Simons’s leadership, Labour Together is developing the big ideas to change Britain for the better."

    Lucy Powell MP, Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons

OUR STORY

Labour Together was built by a group of MPs - Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, Shabana Mahmood, Steve Reed, Bridget Philipson, Lucy Powell, Lisa Nandy and Jon Cruddas - who fought to make Labour electable again. 

In 2020, it united the party behind Keir Starmer’s leadership. In the years since, Labour’s new leadership has reformed the party, placed the country’s interests at its heart, and put Labour back on the path to power. 

When Labour was last in power, the world was a very different place. The West had won the Cold War. America was the world’s sole superpower. Globalisation was lifting billions out of poverty. Democracy was on the march. 

Today, the old certainties are gone. China has created a new centre of gravity. War has returned to Europe. The costs of a globalised economy have sharpened. In too many places, democracy is in retreat. 

In this disordered world, Britain is adrift. Low growth has seen wages flat. Outsourced supply chains have left us exposed. The cost of austerity is evident in every public service and on every high street. 

Labour Together exists to explore how to win and govern in the age of insecurity. We develop bold ideas to make Britain stronger and more secure, and give Britons back hope and confidence in their future.
