Labour for a Republic is a new network of Labour party members and activists who support Britain becoming a republic.

We meet regularly and plan how to build support for republicanism within Labour – looking at ways to engage with members, councillors, MPs and other elected representatives.

Recently Labour for a Republic spoke to Bristol University Labour about republicanism in the Labour party and its relevance to our wider party aims. If you’d like to organise a speaker to attend an event, please email our chair at lesley@LabourForaRepublic.org.uk. It’s also worth talking to Lesley if you have any questions about the campaign and would like to know more.
