In 2010, Blue Labour broke with traditional big-state Fabianism, reigniting a conversation around the power of community, tradition, and belonging. Now, fifteen years on, as we face mounting social, economic, and environmental pressures, we ask: can a new communitarianism once again offer a compelling vision for the future? Join us as we launch a new essay collection exploring how communitarianism might provide the roadmap to strengthening our politics and renewing Britain.

This event takes place at Labour Party Conference.
