What’s Labour Together?

We're the new grouping for everyone in the party - and you're invited. 

By Steve Reed

Jeremy Corbyn won Labour’s leadership election with a powerful mandate for change. The excitement generated by his campaign showed that members want a new kind of politics – more radical, more engaging, more open. Labour Together is the new unity project open to everyone in our party. It’s for supporters of any of the leadership candidates, for people who know that what unites us is bigger than what divides us, and who want us to come together to win so we can change our country for good. 

Ideas are at the heart of Labour Together. The vision we offered the country at the general election wasn’t good enough. As we knocked on doors in constituencies across the country we found little enthusiasm for the Tories. The truth is, they didn’t win the election, we lost it. We lost to an out-of-touch unpopular party because we lacked credibility on the big issues. Many of the radical ideas from the Labour Party’s policy review, shaped by a wide network of supporters, activists and thinkers, never formed part of Labour’s campaign.
