What Labour Together does

Labour Together Limited, now trading as ThinkLabour, is a UK-registered political think tank regulated by the Electoral Commission under the Political Parties Elections and Referendums Act 2000. It is headquartered in London (with a registered office in Borehamwood) and operates with a 28-person team. The organization was publicly credited with contributing to the Labour Party's 2024 General Election victory and, under new leadership installed in May 2026, rebranded to ThinkLabour with a stated mission of generating bold ideas, political strategy, public opinion research, and high-impact communications to help Labour govern confidently and win the next general election.

Its core offerings are organized into three interconnected product lines: (1) research reports and policy papers ('Thinking') covering economic growth, devolution, housing, infrastructure, migration, public services, and state reform; (2) public opinion polling using online panel recruitment with rigorous statistical weighting across age, gender, region, education, vote history, and political attention, with published sample sizes up to 10,580+ respondents; and (3) events including panels, roundtables, and an annual drinks reception at Labour Party Conference co-hosted with IPPR. A newsletter subscription serves as a supplementary engagement channel.

The business model is non-commercial: the entity is a non-profit private limited company funded by political donations declared to and published by the Electoral Commission. It does not sell products or services and has no commercial pricing model. Customers, in the sense of beneficiaries of its research output, are limited to the Labour Party leadership, Labour Ministers, MPs, and mayors, with the British public engaged only as polling respondents. Distribution is direct, through published reports, polling releases, conference events, and media engagement via a dedicated Communications Manager.

Direct peers

• Fabian Society: Britain's historic Labour-aligned think tank and membership society, publishing policy pamphlets and shaping internal party debate. It competes with ThinkLabour for Labour members' attention and for speaking space at party conference.
• Centre for Policy Studies: A centre-right think tank producing policy research on economic growth, housing and devolution — areas where it overlaps with ThinkLabour and has already co-authored papers, despite operating from a different ideological base.
• New Economics Foundation: A progressive think tank focused on economic policy, inequality and climate. It competes with ThinkLabour for foundation funding and for influence over Labour's economic policy direction.
• Progress: A Labour Party-affiliated pressure group and think tank producing policy ideas from the centre-left of the party. It competes with ThinkLabour for Labour members' engagement and for the attention of Labour leadership.
• Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR): The UK's leading progressive think tank, producing cross-cutting economic and social policy research and convening the Labour movement. It is the closest direct peer to ThinkLabour in mission, audience and policy output, and is already a co-partner on ThinkLabour's annual conference reception.
• Policy Exchange: A leading centre-right think tank producing policy papers, polling and events across the same UK domestic policy domains ThinkLabour covers. It competes for media attention and political access from the opposing ideological flank.
• Tony Blair Institute for Global Change: A Labour-aligned policy and advisory organisation focused on government strategy and reform. It competes with ThinkLabour for the attention of Labour ministers and for funding from Labour-friendly donors.
• Resolution Foundation: A left-leaning economic think tank producing research on living standards, labour markets and inequality. It overlaps ThinkLabour on economic growth, devolution and state reform dossiers and serves overlapping Labour-aligned audiences.

Broad incumbents

• Institute for Fiscal Studies: A highly respected, non-partisan economic research institute whose work on public spending and tax is routinely cited across all UK parties. It is a broader incumbent ThinkLabour is benchmarked against on economic credibility rather than a like-for-like partisan competitor.

Emerging players

• Centre for British Progress: An emerging progressive think tank with which ThinkLabour has already co-authored papers. Comparable in left-of-centre orientation and policy focus, but smaller and earlier-stage than ThinkLabour.
