57% of our members voted to not endorse any candidate, with 43% voting to endorse Lucy Powell. Out of the members who voted in the ballot, 0% voted for Bridget Phillipson.

Our members have had their say - and Pride in Labour is not endorsing any candidate for the Labour Party deputy leadership. It's obvious that the threshold to run in internal election is leaving members with poor choices to vote for.
No endorsement Our members have voted to not endorse any candidate in the Labour Deputy Leadership election

Cllr. Georgia Meadows (she/her) Georgia is the Trans Officer for LGBT+ Labour and has stood up for the rights of trans people, despite the lack of action by the committee more generally. She was PPC for Witney in 2024, a constituency where she now runs a support group for local trans and non-binary people.

A statement from Pride in Labour πŸ‘‡ (1/2)
Statement Regarding Co-Chair Jamie Strudwick Pride in Labour can confirm that Jamie Strudwick, founder and Co-Chair of the organisation, has taken the personal decision to resign his membership of the Labour Party. Jamie will continue to serve as Co-Chair until the organisation’s next AGM, scheduled for February 2026. This decision has been made to honour his elected mandate and to ensure continued leadership, organisational stability, and a smooth transition for the next leadership team. Jamie’s decision reflects his own political journey and does not change the values or aims of Pride in Labour as an independent network committed to LGBTQ+ rights, solidarity, and equality. As ever, Pride in Labour remains focused on amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, and building a more inclusive and just future for all.

We are disappointed that Stephenson has been appointed as EHRC Chair despite concerns raised by parliamentary committees. These processes are in place for a reason - and have been ignored. It's unacceptable, undemocratic, and sets a very concerning tone.
