Labour for a Republic 🌹🗳️

We are building a republican movement in the Labour Party. Generating a debate which needs to happen. Join us: labourforarepublic.org.uk/join/

If we believe in democracy, we should be able to ask: Why is this role still reserve for one family?

In most modern democracies, those representing the country internationally are accountable to the public. The UK still relies on inheritance.

Charles III is hosting a state visit from Nigeria’s President representing the UK in a major diplomatic moment.

In a modern democracy, the Head of State should be accountable to the public- not funded through hereditary privilege. That’s why we believe Britain should become a republic.

These estates are historical national assets – yet their income goes to members of one family. Should public land fund private wealth?

The British monarchy isn’t just symbolic . It also comes with vast private income streams. Let’s talk about the duchies.

Attending a celebration of independence from monarchy reminds us: The UK still reserves its highest constitutional role for one family. It’s time to modernise our democracy.

Cosying up to foreign leaders while lacking a democratic mandate at home raises a serious question: Should Britain’s high office be inherited rather than chosen by the people?

Reports suggest Charles III may attend the 250th anniversary of U.S independence in 2026. A moment to celebrate democracy- yet represented by a hereditary monarchy.

@CrustyBonebags2 Whatever people think of Elizabeth II personally, the debate today is about the system. Many people believe the UK should move towards a democratic head of state.

@Labour4Republic Queenie is currently spinning in her grave. If we could somehow harness this centrifugal motion, like a dynamo on a 1980s Milk Race Raleigh Racer, it could potentially power a select number of Council properties in Burnage. Queenie would love this. Let's make it happen.

Ex-prince Andrew’s arrest is a victory for those who have called for royal accountability. We now need to know which royals contributed to the millions paid to silence Virginia Giuffre, and what did they know that made them think the payment was necessary?
