Our mission
The Labour Infrastructure Forum (LIF) is a dynamic network of policymakers, industry experts, and stakeholders from across the Labour movement, united to achieve Keir Starmer’s mission to get Britain building and growing again.
Under 14 years of Conservative government, Britain’s inability to successfully deliver infrastructure projects - from housing to energy and transport - has held our country back. This inertia has stifled growth, jobs and has allowed inequality to grow.
The LIF’s mission is to drive forward a bold and ambitious infrastructure agenda - based on Labour values - that not only rebuilds Britain’s crumbling infrastructure, but builds sustainable inclusive growth, skills, and technological innovation across all communities, in all corners of the nation.
From Attlee to Wilson, Blair and Brown, Labour governments have a proud history of modernising and rebuilding our nation in times of crisis. The British people have entrusted us with this opportunity once again. We must not let them down. Labour must make this Britain’s decade of delivery.
Our objectives
Spark dialogue between the Labour Party, those working across the infrastructure sector, and supportive voices from across the labour movement to spark growth, skills, community and opportunity for everyone, not just a few.
Develop evidence-based policy recommendations to support Labour’s manifesto commitments around the built environment, transport, planning, devolution, affordable house building, clean energy and overall infrastructure strategy.
Forge new connections and partnerships with others working in infrastructure, planning, delivery, and policy.
Be a supportive voice around government announcements - we know that taking on NIMBYs and the blockers will be a challenge!
“People are looking to us because they want to build a new Britain. And we are the builders.”
— Keir Starmer, Prime Minister
