It will be the next generation of Labour politicians that will need to develop new solutions to meet the challenges of changed times. Our new pamphlet aims to spark debate about the future direction of progressive politics.

After twelve years of Labour government, at a critical moment for progressive politics, we have invited twelve of Labour’s young Prospective Parliamentary Candidates to share their vision for the future.

Contributions from Prospective Parliamentary Candidates from across the country cover a wide range of issues, reflecting the wealth of ideas within progressive politics.

For some like Rachel Reeves, PPC for Leeds West, an international outlook is key, whilst Emma Reynolds, PPC for Wolverhampton North East, focuses on gender equality, an issue much closer to home. Chris Ostrowski, who fought the Norwich North by-election, argues that people demand a greater sense of ‘fair play’, whilst Alan Strickland, PPC for Berwick-upon-Tweed, makes the case that the public want a more liberal state.

The Young Fabians Candidates Network was set up earlier this year and is now supported by PPCs from across the country. If you are a young PPC and would like to join the network please contact James Green.
