In February, against a backdrop of significant global and domestic challenges which have rightly captured political attention and energy, the Labour Party took the time to begin meaningful outreach to India and the Indian diaspora.

The UK’s Opposition Labour Party has launched a new diaspora outreach organisation to connect with British Indians and also to strengthen its interactions with India in a year when both countries are preparing for general elections.

Labour is overhauling its outreach efforts to British Indians, amid concern that the party’s support among the country’s largest ethnic minority has slumped in recent years.
