Resisting Reform: Campaigning to Counter the New Right
Alongside an historic Labour victory, the most recent general election also delivered a stark warning: Reform UK received over 4 million votes and saw 5 of its candidates become MPs. The party is now 2nd in 89 Labour-held seats and we cannot afford to be complacent; finding out how to talk to the kinds of voters attracted by Reform’s populism is vital work we must tackle with urgency. Join our panel as they discuss the latest thinking on how we as a movement can counter a reconsolidated right.
