This report, by Labour Together’s Director of Devolution, JP Spencer, sets out a bold vision for how to rebalance the UK economy and create prosperity in every part of the country. It outlines four key recommendations to drive economic growth, improve infrastructure, and boost regional economies, arguing that there is a moral, economic, and political case for doing so.

“The cost-of-living crisis has ended.” So said Andrea Leadsom, a minister in the Department of Health and Social Care, in late March 2024. Her words may come to haunt her.

In this report, we show how far from the truth that triumphalist statement was. The cost-of-living crisis, far from over, is still painfully real for voters across Britain.

In this paper, we explore three pillars which could underpin an effective and popular migration system, showing where Labour is already addressing them and where there are further opportunities to do so.

For too long, Britain has been caught in a doom loop. Low investment has caused low productivity, which has fed into stagnating growth and flat productivity. In this paper, we chart the long story of underinvestment, which is a regional as much as a national story, and its devastating impact on Britain. In its place, we argue for targeted public and private investment to reverse that, and, in so doing, build a new and better Britain.

In November 2023, Rishi Sunak drew together tech industry executives to gaze into a crystal ball and pontificate about a future AI apocalypse. In this paper, Emily Middleton and Kirsty Innes explore what about technology the public actually fears and what gives them cause for hope.

We live in an age of insecurity. War has returned to the European continent. Political upheaval has disrupted some of the most stable democracies in the world. A rising China is destabilising the old, America-centric global order. Britain has been uniquely exposed. Cutting hard and fast after the financial crisis, our economy has been starved of investment. Growth has flatlined. Our public services are crumbling. In this paper, we show that insecurity defines the lives of millions of Britons across the country - and what a future government could do to foster security and rebuild hope.

In December 2022, Keir Starmer committed a future Labour government to replacing the House of Lords. In its place he promised “a new, smaller, democratically elected second chamber,” that will represent “the regions and nations of the United Kingdom.” In this report, we explore public attitudes to the House of Lords and the possible scope for reform.

In 'A New Business Model for Britain', Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves sets out ‘securonomics’, her vision for Britain's economy with Labour in power. She describes the weaknesses in the British economy, some dating back decades and others the result of thirteen years of austerity and chaos. She also shows what Labour would do differently. Drawing on the example set by centre-left governments across the world, particularly the "modern supply side economics" of the Biden Administration, she shows that Britain can rebuild its economic strength amidst the uncertainty of an "age of insecurity".

This report charts Labour’s path to power. A little over three years ago, writing such a report would have been a laughable exercise. At that time, Labour had slumped to its worst defeat in 84 years. An electoral recovery looked, at the very least, like a two-term project. Now, the context is markedly different. Labour is consistently leading the polls. While the journey between poll leads and poll booths is long, a Labour victory now looks possible. This report explores how that victory might be realised and introduces the voter who will be essential to ensuring it happens: Stevenage Woman.
