Labour Together releases review into 2019 election defeat

19th June, 2020

Labour Together is a network of party activists representing the broad church of Labour members and supporters.

Labour Together has released its report into the 2019 General Election defeat and presented a roadmap back to power for Labour.

Shabana was one of 11 commissioners that led the review, which saw over 11,000 survey responses from party members, contributions from trade unions, as well as other senior Labour Party figures.

The review lays bare the scale of the defeat for Labour, at least 20 years in the making, and the reasons for the long-term decline in the party’s fortunes.

Birmingham Ladywood MP, Shabana Mahmood said:

“Our Labour Together report into 2019 General Election shows that we have a mountain to climb to win in 2024.

“To win again, we have to learn from what went wrong and address the longer term trends the report has identified.”
