“Labour has become a party for middle class and upper middle class professionals. The priorities of this group are behind our nose dive in the polls. Labour desperately needs to become a party for working class people again”

said Restoration founder, campaigner David Littlefair

”Recent polling shows that Labour is now more popular with people that went to private school than people who work in normal jobs for a living. We want Labour to start putting class first again - we think Labour needs govern with a Hippocratic Oath to working class people and working class communities"

Speaking of the priorities of Restoration, David outlines three priorities:

“We have three priorities that Labour needs to take drastic action on

We want Labour to put serious time, effort and money into Ending the Two Englands. We live in the most regionally unequal country in the developed world. and England is the most unequal country in the union.
If we aren’t putting serious redistribution into the deindustrialised parts of the North and Midlands, and defending the last of their industry, we are going to fail."

We want Labour to start celebrating the dignity of the crucial work that keeps our country going. We think Labour should prioritise apprenticeships over failed universities, put working class people into parliament and into local councils instead of professional politicians, and should immediately start a commission to understand and promote Good Work - before AI and computer monitoring destroy the wellbeing of our workers.

Finally, we want Labour to listen most to the red wall and make sure we have a campaigning apparatus that identifies and speaks to non-voters, as they are who will deliver the next election result.

At Labour Conference in 2025 Restoration are running grassroots fringe events on:

Working Class Access to the Arts
”Per capita, there are fewer working class professionals in the creative life of Britain than at any time since before World War Two. We want to change that.”
and on

Battling Deindustrialisation
Labour has struggled to understand the importance of heavy industry to British communities and has allowed too many industries to fail. We want to look urgently at alternative ownership models before another factory closes or another refinery falls without a ‘Green Transition’ for their workers.
