Labour Party

Centrist social democratic political party in the United Kingdom

The Labour Party, commonly Labour, is a political party in the United Kingdom. It sits on the centre-left of the left–right political spectrum, and has been described as an alliance of democratic socialists, social democrats and trade unionists. It has been the governing party since the 2024 general election. Keir Starmer was elected Leader of the Labour Party in 2020 and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 2024 until June 2026 when he resigned, though he will continue to lead the United Kingdom until the 2026 Labour Party leadership election, where the new party leader will be elected and become prime minister. There have been twelve Labour governments and seven Labour prime ministers. The party meets annually during Autumn for the Labour Party Conference, during which delegates from local parties and trade unions vote on party policy, and senior figures address the audience from the Conference platform.
