What is the labour party
The Labour Party is a century-old political organisation, born out of the trade union movement and built on equality, social justice and compassion.
We are a movement of over half a million members working to elect a Government that puts those shared values into action.
labour's legacy
The Labour Party has always been about people. It was formed to give ordinary people a voice and has sought power in order to improve their lives. The fruits of this work have changed Britain for the better, through the most progressive governments in our country’s history.
Ours is a proud history, with achievements – from the NHS to the minimum wage– that have made a lasting difference to the lives of people across our country.
