What should Labour’s political economy look like in an age of rapid technological change?
Today, ThinkLabour launches Progressive Dynamism by our Director of Policy, James Howat.
The report argues that Labour must embrace technological innovation as the engine of growth, while building the skills, infrastructure and institutions needed to spread its benefits across the country.
A stronger state, deeper technological capabilities, and a renewed focus on regional growth can help deliver a more prosperous Britain.

Well worth reading from @1jamesHowat and a good sign that we’re entering a real marketplace of ideas if this is what we can come to expect from @ThinkLabour 👇

Tony Blair is right that technology can save social democracy, but he's light on how to spread the benefits. His critics are more focused on the distributional politics than the plan to pay for it.
Our new paper on Labour's political economy tries to bridge the divide.

Labour has lost more support to the Greens than any other party since the 2024 election. So how does Labour win these voters back - and what works in local campaigns to defeat them?

We have a new report coming out in a couple of weeks on *local* misinformation. We monitored Gorton & Denton the local elections. It's one of the most concerning research projects we've done. If you weren't already convinced of the social value of local journalism, you will be.
