The Political Agenda – Andrew Harrop

Chris Lomas

Nearly two years on from Keir Starmer’s election as leader, and Labour are at a pivotal moment in their quest to win govern the UK for the first time since 2010.

After an arduous rebuild following Jeremy Corbyn’s departure, Labour now sit ahead in the polls with an opportunity to press home their advantage, as the Conservatives struggle to fight off partygate.

Labour’s leader and frontbench team are expected to set out their vision for the road ahead on the 15th January, during the FEPS-Fabian New Year conference 2022
