Labour Friends of the Forces is a forum for discussion, development and ideas sharing
Labour stands four-square behind our Armed Forces, their families and our veterans. This notion is at the core of everything Labour Friends of the Forces stands for. Founded in 2011 and forged by a will to create a forum for our serving and ex-serving personnel along with those close to them, this organisation is deeply rooted in the needs of our service communities.
The safety of the nation depends on the relentless efforts undertaken by our troop’s day in day out, and on the sacrifices made by their families. They deliver for the nation. It is the duty of political parties to put structures in place that deliver for them.
When looking at the values instilled in our armed forces, it is easy to see how this chimes with the foundations of Labour. Courage, integrity, loyalty, discipline and service. These common values are among those British people admire most. Labour Friends of the Forces seeks to promote these shared ideals and ensure they stay firmly rooted in our party.
Labour’s history is heavily entwined with that of our armed forces. From Bevin leading the charge for the formation of NATO to grandees such as Benn, Jenkins and Healey carrying out military service, the armed forces are a proud part of Labour’s heritage.
Our vision is a Labour party that continues to recognise the intrinsic value of forces personnel and their families as well as fosters an atmosphere that paves the way for personnel to participate in politics.
Strengthening the link between Labour and our serving communities, Labour Friends of the Forces is a forum for discussion, development and ideas sharing.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic death of a member of @HMSQNLZ ship’s company.
My thoughts are with the family, loved ones and crew during this painful time.
Happy Ukrainian Independence Day.
To all the brave men and woman defending their nation—-we salute you!
Slava Ukraini!

My first month as Minister for Veterans and People has filled me with a deep sense of pride- not only for those who are serving, but those who have served and the incredible families that support them.
