Andy Burnham closed out our conference 18 months ago with a speech outlining the wholesale reform Britain needs - electoral reform, the public ownership of water, a national housebuilding programme. We hoped he could give it on the party conference stage sooner rather than later.

"The last few years have taught us that the political settlement that built Labour has changed." In a multi-party system, it's likely no Burnham bounce will hand Labour a majority in 2029. Could it lead a progressive majority instead? Lena Swedlow, Compass Deputy Director #LabourConference2026

We’re deeply concerned that Conference has been denied the opportunity to debate public ownership of water. That faction-driven procedure can stifle debate on essential services should concern everyone who wants Labour to be a confident, outward-looking movement.

On the CAC’s Decision to Block our Motion on Water Ownership

We are profoundly concerned that the Conference Arrangements Committee (CAC) has denied the Labour movement gathering in Liverpool the opportunity to debate public ownership of water. It is a policy supported overwhelmingly by the public and globally the norm.

That such an important question about the future of an essential public service can be stifled by faction-driven procedure should concern everyone who wants Labour to be a confident, outward-looking political movement.

Our Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, put it well when Mainstream was launched last year: “We’ve got to get beyond this culture where everything’s a threat. If people are speaking out, it can actually be an opportunity to make changes.”

That principle matters. Labour will need bold ideas and serious debate if our government is to deliver the scale of change the country needs. Conference should be a place where our movement can test those ideas, challenge established thinking and develop new answers together - not one where important debates are prevented from taking place.

If Labour is to build the movement and the programme capable of changing the country, the Party must rediscover its confidence in its members: their ideas, their experience, their willingness to challenge orthodoxies and their capacity to think big about what a Labour government can achieve.

But we must be clear: this is our final chance. What comes next must be a genuinely transformative political project. It must be bold in its offer to the country, and resolutely opposed to the internal culture of insularity and factionalism that has taken Labour to this point.

We will be consulting our members about what they would like to see happen next.

A contest for Labour leader? I don't think so. Not so much legitimacy to be had from 400 MPs & some thousands of party members. But Burnham shouldn't think that just being in office makes you legitimate ruler. It just gives you a platform from which you can - maybe - win support for a programme (1/)

Ipsos polling shows Andy Burnham is Labour's most popular figure - and the only one with genuine cross-party appeal among progressives. If Labour wants to build a coalition big enough to beat Reform in 2029, blocking him from Parliament would be a gift to Farage.
