Guardian Newsroom: Can Labour come back from the brink?

  • Conway Hall 25 Red Lion Square London, England, WC1R 4RL United Kingdom (map)

Labour moved into Downing Street with a vision of national renewal and collective security. But despite some worthwhile achievements, the narrative surrounding this government has more often been about its supposed failings and internal conflicts.

Declared the ‘most unpopular PM ever’ at minus 57%, how will Starmer rescue his relationship with disillusioned voters and his own fractious MPs? After standing up to Donald Trump over Greenland, has Starmer’s ‘keep calm’ diplomacy reached its limit? What will be the fallout from the by-election in Gorton and Denton, in which Andy Burnham was refused permission to stand?

And does anyone have a strategy to beat Reform?

The Guardian columnist, Gaby Hinsliff, will chair our panel of Guardian columnists including Polly Toynbee, Rafael Behr and Zoe Williams. Join us as they discuss Keir Starmer, the Labour party and the upcoming May byelections. They will also be answering your own questions.

You can join this event in-person at Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Sq, London, WC1R 4RL, or via the livestream. Tickets are £35 to attend the event in person, or £15 to watch it online. See tickets for further details.
