We Are Progress
Imaginative Thinking To Rebuild Labour And The Nation.
Progress is the platform for policymaking, political education and imaginative thinking to rebuild Labour and the nation. Rooted in the Labour Party, we are dedicated to national renewal through the intellectual revitalisation of the UK centre-left.
We work collaboratively with members of the Government and thought leaders to provide contemporary opinion pieces on key political, economic and social events occurring here in the UK and overseas.
Our ongoing work brings together politicians, policymakers, experts, and activists together to shape Labour’s policy and strategy and develop distinctive and dynamic positions as they navigate their return to power.

"Progress has always meant the best of Labour and its ideals - the values, ideas, organization, comradeship and culture that makes for a living, breathing movement relevant to the needs of the country. When Progress is strong, Labour is strong, and the country benefits."
David Milliband
Former Foreign Secretary and President and CEO of International Rescue Committee
"Progress has been a vital force for renewal in our movement - championing new ideas, nurturing talent, and strengthening the culture that keeps Labour outward‑looking and energetic. Progress has helped shape Labour for the better. Thank you for everything you do to power our movement."
Baroness Luciana Berger
Member of the House of Lords
"I owe Progress a huge amount, given it is both the source of my first bylines and the way I met my partner. But to look away from my own self-interest, I think what is really important about it is it is a place to think seriously about ideas."
Stephen Bush
Associate Editor of Financial Times and former Progress columnist
"When I became Progress' Parliamentary chair in 2015, it was an unusual time for the party but we refused to give up.
We rethought our approach but stuck to our values. We fought for change and won the right to implement it for our country.
Whatever the future, I know that the progressive argument will always need to be made. We will always have to fight. And for that, we have Progress - now looking to the years ahead."

Minister for Homelessness and Local Government
