Pride in Labour is a grassroots movement within the Labour Party, founded in July 2024.[1]
In July 2024, Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced[2] that the government will uphold the ban on the private prescription of puberty blockers put in place by the previous Conservative government[3] . LGBT+ Labour released a statement[4] which did not explicitly call for the ban to be lifted, which led to Pride in Labour being formed out of frustration at the lack of accountability of the Labour Party on this decision.
Pride in Labour was officially formed on the 14th of July 2024 and went on to elect its first Executive Committee on the 28th of July 2024.
Executive Committee Election
[edit]On the 4th January 2024, the Chair Jamie Strudwick announced that there will be an Executive Committee election for Pride in Labour during the Annual General Meeting on the 8th February 2025.
Demonstration in London
[edit]On the 19th April 2025, Pride in Labour helped plan a protest[5][6][7] in London regarding the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom's judgement on For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers which amassed approximately 20,000 people.
The protest angered right-wing press organisations including Spiked.[8]
The protest was featured on Channel 4 News[9], ITV News, and other mainstream media in the UK and worldwide[10].
Reaction from within the Labour Party
[edit]When Pride in Labour was established, there was a lot of internal discourse within the Labour Party, from both members[11], and elected internal party officials, including Georgia Meadows, LGBT+ Labour's trans officer[12].
Executive Committee
[edit]On the 8th February, Pride in Labour members elected their new executive committee with members including:
| Name | Role |
|---|---|
| Jamie Strudwick | Co-chair |
| Avery Greatorex | Co-chair |
| Aiden Crawley | Secretary |
| Stephen Wood | Treasurer |
