Common Endeavour: Building a stronger Britain

The nation Labour governs today is unrecognisable compared to the one it governed two decades ago. Much of our economy is less productive. Our society is more divided, polarised between populists on the right and left. A global political order that has endured since the fall of the Berlin wall is breaking down. Economic and political crises – the financial crash, Brexit, the pandemic, and now an affordability crisis – have left our nation poorer, angrier, and weaker.

In this series of essays, Labour MPs from across the ‘broad centre’ of the party set out how Labour can apply its values to the problems we face in the second quarter of the 21st century. The collection centres around four generational challenges: affordability, capacity, security, and solidarity.
