The Labour Party has one job in 2024: delivering Keir Starmer a majority that is deep, durable, disciplined and democratic.
Deep because, to overcome our catastrophic 2019 result, we must bring over voters from every demographic and every corner of the country.
Durable because Labour has to govern with a relentless focus on deserving a second term so that we can win era-defining change, not just history-defying swings.
Disciplined because the country needs a united team that is prepared to take a long-term view.
And, most of all, democratic because we obsess about securing both ongoing enthusiasm for – and participation in – our ambitious missions.
It was with this in mind that a delegation, hosted by the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) and Progressive Britain, travelled to the United States last week.
We were in Washington DC and Virginia to learn from the Democrats and try to understand why voters weren’t more enthusiastic about a presidency of such extraordinary consequence.
