Independent Labour Publications (ILP) is an educational trust, publishing house and pressure group c

The ILP was formed in 1893 as the Independent Labour Party, which became a co-founder of the Labour Party at the beginning of the 20th century. Today we remain committed to Labour's aim of creating 'a society for the many, not the few' and seek to engage with others in discussing how this vision can be turned into reality.

Keir Starmer’s premiership is unravelling, not because of a single scandal or a momentary lapse of judgement, argues ERNIE JACQUES. This is the consequence of ‘a political project built on deception and enforced through accusation, intimidation and bullying’.
