The UK General Election: What a Labour win could mean for the US
Tomorrow, June 25, 2024
10:00 to 11:00 a.m. ET

With the U.K. General Election approaching on July 4th, attention is turning to the potential electoral outcomes and their broader implications. Of particular interest is what a Labour Party victory could signify for the Democratic Party's election outlook in the U.S.

Join Claire Ainsley and the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) TOMORROW for an on the ground perspective on the election prospects and a discussion on the possible impacts of a Labour win on transatlantic relations. We'll explore whether the polls showing a resounding Labour victory are right, how a Labour victory might change the UK’s political direction, and the broader implications for U.S. relations.

PPI’s Project on Center-Left Renewal was launched in January 2023 by Claire Ainsley, former Executive Director of Policy to Labour leader Keir Starmer. PPI has been working with U.K. organizations on the center-left to re-establish the transatlantic dialogue that has been so important for Democrats and the Labour Party. This relationship has included hosting a group of Labour candidates in the U.S. and PPI travelling to London to meet Labour politicians and officials at the Progressive Britain Conference earlier this year.

For more from PPI's coverage of the 2024 U.K. General Election, check out Claire Ainsley's pieces on Labour's approach to the world, the new Labour manifesto, as well as her latest election bulletin with a full analysis of all the latest U.K. developments.

Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the potential shifts in U.K.-U.S. dynamics and what they could mean for the transatlantic relationship and international political landscape.

• Claire Ainsley, Director of the Center-Left Renewal Project at the Progressive Policy Institute and a former Labour policy director
• Kiran Stacey, Political correspondent at The Guardian UK, and former Washington correspondent at the Financial Times.
• Professor Rob Ford, University of Manchester, co-author of Brexitland, and one of the UK’s foremost political scientists
