Labour on the side of hard-working families

Labour was in government between 1997 and 2010 and our achievements have revolutionised the lives of the British people.

The values Labour stands for today are those which have guided it throughout its existence: social justice, strong communities, reward for hard work, decency and rights matched by responsibilities. We stand for the many not the few.
