2026 TUC Congress
2026 TUC Congress
Unlike the Greens or Your Party, the institutional importance of Trade Unions to Labour is pretty fundamental in view of their 62%, 60%, 50%, 33%, 25%, 33% representation on NCC, CAC, Conference, NEC, NPF and Nation/Region Executives. Thus the TUC Congress is a significant event a fortnight before Labour conference for understanding any TU trends.
Below is core information on TUC Congress

Labour Party Annual Conference 2026 - Online elements
Below is a series of Sequential Lists that will maximise the involvement of those watching conference online. Other parties have hybrid conferences and it has to be said even the Tories encourage and online conference to a degree and Labour held "Labour Connected" in 2020 during the Covid pandemic, so this is an attempt to make those of you not present feel part of Conference more.
Links will be added to all the sections as they come online.
If using X, try to use the official #Lab26 hashtag to help find information easier. Other hashtag options are here.
Watch Labour Conference Live
Individual days will be added at each link below when they come on stream:
Saturday - Labour Women's Conference. This is not normally livestreamed
Sunday - Mainly Organisational reports and Consitutional discussion
Monday - Chancellor Speech from 12 noon?
Tuesday - Leader Speech from 2pm?
Wednesday - Concluding policy debates and singing of The Red Flag and Jerusalem
Possible Live from Liverpool online 6pm Zoom Sun-Tues by Labour's Training Team - useful updates
Fringe
IPPR usually are livestream their fringe. Big up to IPPR who did over 30 fringe events shown online and did it quite simply with a stage & a mix of panels and interviews.
Let me know if there are any other livestreamed fringe events?

The factions and groups particularly affecting the CLP half of conference
The affiliated trade unions and socialist societies - A comprehensive Vote Share Breakdown
The CLP's themselves - Regional Size Breakdown
The organisations (eg think tanks) often operating much of the fringe along also with the factions/groups/TUs and socialist societies above
I will move this and those sections further up this page for the duration of Conference for ease of access
Below those 4 elements there is also a little bit of advice on how to do a proper Point of Order at Conference as many people have clearly not been trained to do that

List of Factions/Groups
This is a useful list of all the internal Labour Political factions and political groups and what they are advocating for at conference. Where possible the link will go to any specific conference page.
Quite a large number will be holding fringe meetings too.

Cooperative Party and also Sign up for Coop party Conference Emails
Affiliated Labour Trade Unions - 11
Larger ones will be holding receptions or sponsoring fringes.
This list is in order of a reasonably accurate % of the TU vote at Labour Conference. Halve that number to get their conference card vote size under the 50/50 CLP/TU vote vote share. It is also shown on X here.
Unite - 290,000 - 23% - Based on a £3 per member affiliation payment of £870,000 after a 40% cut from £1,450,000 (483,333 members)
USDAW 288,416 - 23%
GMB 288,325 - 23%
Unison 184,015 - 15% (note this is an estimate based on Political Fund income and it could be as high as 250,000)
CWU 112,205 - 9%
FBU 24,460 - 2%
Community 18,079 - 1%
ASLEF - 16,790 - 1%
Musician's Union 15,005 - 1%
TSSA 9,905 - 1%
NUM - 82 - 0%
Note: Card Vote 2 at 2025 Conference had highest Affiliate vote at 1520878 with a 946146 to 574732 result. However this was before the Unite 40% reduction in their affiliation

Polling of Union Members
Important to note this poll has been at the centre of Reform donations contoversy following a Channel 4/Viewpoint investigation shown here. However as JL Partners were meant to follow BPC/MRS guidelines on metholodogy it is still worth looking at.
31/05/26: JL Partners Poll of public sector union members in The Times. More here.

14th-19th May 2026, representative sample of 1,002 public sector union members.
A useful critique of its polling segments flagging weaknesses in its methodology is here from Simon Fletcher.
None of this is new though when looking at some individual unions. Polling of Unite members back to 2009 showed Tories only 3% behind Lab and I have collated some data from past threads. Big difference now to then is TU GSs are not in denial as they often were in the 2010s. I have linked some previous data here and here.
Affiliated Socialist Societies - 21
Many of these groups will be holding fringe meetings or receptions at conference.
Official Labour Page and Wikipedia Page
Three largest in terms of % (Around 63%) of what I think is now a 24,000 Socialist Society vote (around 1% of the affiliate vote along with TU's)
Fabian Society and also Fabian Women - 6,293 - 26%
Labour in Local and Regional Government (LLRG) - 5,873 - 24% NEW - Affiliated in 2026 (Assumption is affiliates on Cllr Numbers)
Jewish Labour Movement, (JLM) (formerly Poale Zion) - 3,000 - 13%
Followed by the rest:
Black, Asian Minority Ethnic Labour (BAME Labour) (formerly Labour Party Black Sections and Black Socialist Society)
East & South East Asians for Labour (ESRA) (formerly Chinese for Labour)
Christians on the Left (formerly The Christian Socialist Movement)
Disability Labour (formerly Labour Party Disabled Members Group)
Labour Business (formerly Labour Finance and Industry Group)
Labour Housing Group (LHG)
Labour Party Irish Society (LPIS)

CLPs at Labour Conference - Key Information
CLPs at Labour Conference - Key Information
Between the role of factions organising and the operation of the 11 Labour Unions the general role of CLPs as 50% of the conference vote tends to be forgotten. On the last page of each CAC report there is a diagram of where all the delegations sit and CLPs are sat in regions. Whilst CLPs vote individually or more often on factional recommendation above, the actual voting strength of the CLPs is shown below to show how they compare with trade unions. To get conference voting strength in the 50/50 CLP/TU vote share just halve the numbers below. When you see the factional strength in the CLPs above (67% LTW/LF) and look at the unions strength below (59%-41% politically or 98%+ of TU vote when united), that means in a 50/50 CLP/TU vote share any other political space between those two scenarios is currently quite small at conference.
Nations/Regional Distribution of the Labour Membership in CLPs
Based on past research from 2010.
London - 21%
North West -12%
South East - 10%
Yorkshire/Humber - 9%
West Midlands - 8%
Eastern - 8%
Scotland - 7%

How to do a Point of Order at Labour Conference
I was asked about this and looking at the Standing Orders of Labour Conference in the Appendix to the Labour Rule Book here the following look like legitimate Points of Order and thus the "Standing Order you have to quote to make it legitimate" under Conference Standing Orders (Appendix 8, Clause I,3,C,iii) are as follows:
Contemporary Motions: Appendix 8, Clause I,2,A,i
Emergency Motions: Appendix 8, Clause I,2,B,ii,a&b

NEC Results Analysis
Drawn from X/Twitter feed and being reordered and re-edited with more transfer data added
Turnout
Turnout looks 2 b in 13%-16% range so up on last year & a bit better than most big TU Gen Sec elections t/o so not bad for a "second order election" but more like 2004-10 era & lower than highly contested 2010-20 era
Vote Share
Vote share % along with 2024 @labtowin/@labour_first 32% (+5%), @mainstreamlbr 25% (+25% as new or -5% on OL/LW4NEC slates) @PeoplesMomentum/@CLPD_Labour 24% (-2%), @leftrestoration 9% (+9%), Ind 10% (-7%) Commentary follows
Outcome for Candidates
BTW congrats to @AndyAchilleos, @catarnold_, @JessicaLBarnard @gembolton, @angela4LME @AbdiDuale_, @_petermason, Kerry Postlewhite, @CampaignJane who are the new 9 CLP Reps & thank you to @Yasmine_Dar for all her service who did not make it back this time
At the same time @JOwusuNepaul & @Stsantek have in their 1st runs 4 the NEC clearly established themselves as strong contenders to get on in future. And whilst the slates dominated, Indys such as @neerajpatil, @JohnWis31479646 & @NooriZahida polled solidly
Outcome for the Slates
@labtowin/@labour_first will be v pleased they topped poll & also held 4 seats. At 2,017 their vote spread was lower than oth 2 main slates so vote management better. At 32% vote share tho their approach may need 2 reflect on a more diverse party culture?
@mainstreamlbr will b pleased formally established on NEC & came 2nd in vote share at 25%. Their vote spread at 3,619 was worst of 3 main slates & may have cost them a 3rd seat? Whilst @mainstreamlbr 25% was good it was 5% lower than OL/LW4NEC sep slates in 2024 & they likely lost some "Ann Black votes" 2 LTW. They may need 2 review whether statements with Mom/CLPD impactd & also memb expectations over any "critical friend".
@PeoplesMomentum/@CLPD_Labour slowd vote decline to -2% bearing in mind they only got 15% noms (+ 40%+ memb recomp) so may see solace, but loss of Yasmine Dar along with Disability seat leaning Mainstream & @WLGrassroots not picking up Welsh seat is significant
@leftrestoration will be v pleased with result as first outing with 9% vote share & 1 NEC memb bearing in mind they got 2% noms and 2% in @Survation poll. With @AndyAchilleos & @Stsantek they have "names" who cd sustain/build that vote share in coming yrs?
The move to a 4 slate NEC likely did c Indy's squeezed out dropping -7% to 10%. Since 2020 they have polled: 14%, 7%, 17% 10% so their vote does fluctuate a bit, but 3 regulars did poll 1,162, 821, 672 so they still do represent small regional level bases
In overview LTW remain strongest, but a realignment on left does seem to suggest "Post-Corbyn" (no surprise after YP CEC antics & rise of Greens) politics on the NEC with new Soft Left/Workerist Left boosted +2 at expense of Mom/CLPD -2
Vote Transfers
Looking at vote transfers (tho not as much data as 2020) @labtowin/@labour_first retaind 72% of vote. Their long-term Clause 1 "Win" message has resonance with a lot of their vote base. High vote retention worked with good vote management to hold that 4th seat
@PeoplesMomentum/@CLPD_Labour had even higher vote retention at 74%. Framing only some Lab members as "socialists" may well firm up a v hard vote & also useful when membership expands but may b more a defensive strategy when trying to win existing members?
@mainstreamlbr only had 40% vote retention for @catarnold_ (who looks 2 b already getting an "Ann Black" cross faction vote). This and a vote management 1,602 wider vote spread than LTW/LF meant the quite possible 3 seats from the poll ended up as 2. Looking at @mainstreamlbr transfrs boild down 2 oth slates their vote is 50% "Left" (gains frm Mom?) 25% "Mixed Left/Rest/Cent" & 25% "Centre". Food 4 thought 4 @lukewillhurst & @Neal_Compass ovr Mainstreams distinctiveness 2 oth slates 2 hold vote bloc together?
@leftrestoration interesting as new slate. Inevitably vote retention was lowest 4 a slate at 29% but both @AndyAchilleos & @Stsantek did promote their "independence" so it may b "names" count & they did poll 19% from other Indy cands above their own 9% vote? For @leftrestoration if u boil down their transfers 2 just other 3 slates, it is interesting 2 note their voters split Mom/CLPD 35%, Main 31% & LTW/LF 34% so they pick up votes from all sides of party 4 their class based analysis. Thus @leftrestoration demonstrated they can hold a cross-faction voter bloc together with a specific message & they may well b able to expand 9% vote share to 15%+ for a 2nd seat? The challenge 4 them is can their cross-faction message expand above that level?
Inevitably Indy vote was more mixed depending on individual cand. eg @NooriZahida had lot of Mom/CLPD vote, @wiseman_jo54566 had 28% Restoration (well above their 9% score) & @neerajpatil (&Turnbull/Davies) had lot of LTW/LF vote. Overall Indy vote by other faction looks to be around LTW/LF 37% Mainstream 22%, Mom/CLPD 21%, Restoration 19%. Clearly some Indy voters saw something in @leftrestoration to above average transfer to their cands to help them gain a seat?
Vote Transfers and Implicit Bias?
A sensitive issue 2 flag is both @mainstreamlbr & @PeoplesMomentum/@CLPD_Labour saw a BAME candidate lose. This did not affect @labtowin so much as @AbdiDuale_ electd. It may suggest both grps may have 2 review their vote transfers & recalc their vote management.
B4 I inadvertently start a "our slate supporters have less/more 'implicit bias' than yours" row, I wd seriously suggest in "post-factional era" that useful data on transfers enables ALL slates 2 measure issues like this & improve political educ/make adjustments. Having seen issues of 'implicit bias' in some Lab selections, its not just individual slate reviews, but also Indy transfers that provide data too, so a mature approach to challenge this across the board needs all slates & beyond to be supportive of each other.
Polling Performance
How did @LabourList @Survation poll do? I thought it did v well getting 7 of 9 elected in top 9 (It had Dar & Owusu-Nepaul & missd Thomas & Achilleos) & vote share of 39%-26%-29%-2%-4% compares well with 32%-25%-24%-9%-10%. Mainly it underestimated Rest & Ind
Estimated Outcomes Review
Reviewing outcomes analysis. Likely results range was LTW/LF 3-4, Main 2-3, Mom/CLPD 2-3, Rest 0-1, Ind 0-1. Polling suggested 3-3-3, but I added 4-3-2 & 3-3-2-1. 4-2-2-1 was missed out & shd have been included, but a 2-1 LTW/LF seat lead looked less plausible. Clearly not having a "2" Mainstream outcome to reflect its range was a mistake with just top 3 outcomes. As well as additional 4-2-2-1 we probably needed 3-2-3-1 & 4-2-3 outcomes too for 6 possible outcomes. That is something to bear in mind for #LabNEC2028?
For #LabNEC2028 ranges may be LTW/LF 3-4, Main 2-3, Mom/CLPD 2-3, Rest 0-2, Ind 0-1. @leftrestoration may currently have widest range simply because it came in 9th on 1st Rnd & 8th in final Rnd. Any polling then may narrow that to 0-1 or poss more likely 1-2?
Other NEC Seat results
More on the other seat results here. Wales was v close & new memb/TU franchise may have had impact. No surprise LTW hold Loc Gov seats tho Main+Mom/CLPD scores will be interesting & Youth seat (tho rep had been backd by OL in past) Close in Wales (+1% WLG), 14% swing to LTW (with lower Cllr electorate after local elections so t/o may be same) in Local Gov ballot. Youth closer than expected which might suggest some TU vote shifts?
Had a look at youth vote. It's not disaggregated but looking at past results back to 2020, I wd have thought @elsieortong at 72% (having won 51% & 66% in two prev elects) won in both halves & @afc_c_ a few more affil votes than SEA & Dis Lab who nominated him. That outcome wd seem to me to align better with the combination of @elsieortong 5 TU noms of at least 59% of TU vote (and she may have added more affil votes?) and the recent @YoungLabourUK Exec election outcomes. That seems 2 me to be the best estimate. I have yet to update my TU share of conference vote estimate where Unite's recent reduction of their affiliation by up to 25% may have meant @elsieortong's 5 TU noms % votes value was a bit higher too and again that wd align with vote outcome we see.
Political Outcomes
Party leadership may b both relaxed with result (as 4 slates & slight realignment 2 soft left works 4 defactionalise narrative) but also a little sad NW's Yasmine Dar lost seat as when she 1st stood on slate it was claimed she was a 2015 Burnham supporter!
As part of calm "factionalism" down narrative 1 easy thing Leadership/New GS/4 slates cd unite on is getting @LabourTraining 2 talk 2 @CompInPolitics on an online Compassion Training course 4 membs 2 implement a Forde recommendation?
For those who enjoy the minutiae there r now 5 people on the NEC who signed the Reset statement. Perhaps significant is a majority of them r Mainstream aligned which may c party culture, & policies as more the priority areas?
Yasmine Dar not on NEC now means only Ian Murray of FBU & Shabana Mahmood r on NEC frm its 2018-19 era, showing speed of turnover. However Luke Akehurst did remind me that Ellie Reeves, Jonathan Reynolds, Peter Wheeler & himself on it have earlier NEC experience. What with Ann Black standing down institutional tacit knowledge is important which is why some of us working to ensure the Ann Black NEC report archive back to 1999 is kept online as a useful record of NEC decisions & aggregating data is important for future.
The Factional Landscape Post Election
What this prob tells us is if u had a FPTP vote we wd have seen two slates get around 45% each just like pre-2015 with a mix of 5-4 or 6-3 splits. However instead with STV, instead of slates claiming "this justifies this" we explore a far more diverse membership. In pre-2015 Jon Lansman did articles on Left Futures site saying the 45%'s were solid political blocs but as I said at time 17 yrs of continuous 3-3 & 4-2 winner splits always told us that arnd 20-33% of members were splitting their vote 4 a mixed CLP NEC split. After 2015 the intense politics got "factional" all round & split voting declined to perhaps 10% & we even saw some1 as great as Ann Black dropped from a slate because she very sensibly split a ridiculously overlarge 7000+ member Brighton Lab into 3 CLPs! That last point illustrates that "tactical" legal challenges are simply not a "point of principle", just a tactic, & if slates really do want to move past "factionalism" they perhaps need to know the difference & apply long-term thinking not "tactics" to issues.
As a result of achieving STV, as the data above shows, along with excellent work by @LabourList & @Survation we now know a lot more about Labour members compared to say 15 years ago. I try to play my part too by collating stuff here. What that means is any "overclaims" by factions (& let's all see what "mandates" each of the slates claim from this election?) can be far better tested by reference to all the data on not just how members think but also how they behave with voting. Thus if everyone truly wants to reduce levels of "factionalism" they should very much welcome a range of "democratic tools" (eg Public Polling, STV, data aggregation) that enable us to transparently measure in detail what members think and then also do. Here, just as a bit of fun, are the current "mandates" being claimed by slates/cands in the post-factional era when the actual "decisive result" was 32%-25%-24%-9%-10% and 4-2-2-1-0!Make of them what you will? More seriously, if it were me, I wd, in spirit of Forde, start working out bits people can 1st agree on? Maybe @EmmaBurnell_ summd it up best in a Fordeist @CompInPolitics manner when she askd each slate 2 say nice things about each othr?
Future Elections
For #LabNEC2028 ranges may be LTW/LF 3-4, Main 2-3, Mom/CLPD 2-3, Rest 0-2, Ind 0-1. @leftrestoration may currently have widest range simply because it came in 9th on 1st Rnd & 8th in final Rnd. Any polling then may narrow that to 0-1 or poss more likely 1-2?
What is strategy for the slates next time? All of them picked optimum cand numbers & same applies next time so we might c LTW/LF 4, Main 3, Mom/CLPD 3, Rest 2 cands next time with LTW/LF aiming to hold its 4th seat and other 3 slates battling for 1 more?
With @leftrestoration optimum cand number was poss more by accident as started with 5/6 cands & used noms as a "Jungle Primary" 2 c who got on ballot. There is nothing wrong with using this but a slate may need 2 b clear aim is NEC memb+1 optimum number
Its likely @mainstreamlbr & @leftrestoration as new slates this time will build contact databases & improve vote management targeting to reduce vote spread just like the two longstanding slates do with a lot of experience now. Small margins may matter more then

Labour List NEC Elections Video/Podcast - in effect a mini-hustings for the 4 slates . A very friendly debate. few interesting issues from it:
NEC members seemed a bit at variance on its Policy role. Important to bear in mind the NEC provides significant numbers of members to the NPF Joint Policy Committee and the Policy Commissions (9, 3, 6, 7, 4, 6, so one assumes pretty much every NEC member is on one of the six Commissions) plus the whole NEC also attends the Clause V meeting with the Shadow Cabinet and representatives of Labour Unions to agree the Manifesto., which is drawn from the "Party Programme" (stated in Party Rules) which is what the NPF develops over a 4 year cycle.
Membership Numbers not published any more. Important to note these were only published regularly from 2021-2025 and were not regularly done before that - see more information on the history of this on the Labour Archive page.
Finance details are mainly kept to the Business Board. This is presumably decided when the NEC Terms of Reference are agreed - see Labour Archive page for an old copy.
NEC members discussed how could members and not just the PLP influence the whether Andy Burnham was selected for Gorton & Denton. Important to note it not just PLP members but from the polling shown on Labour Dashboard Labour members themselves were not keen on Keir Starmer to stand down at that point, even though members were likely to vote Burnham in a contest. However after May elections member opinion changed and did want to see Andy Burnham become leader so both PLP and members both shifted at the same time.
Emma Burnell of Labour List who chaired was excellent and in particular in asking reps of slates to say something nice about another slate. Very Compassion in Politics good practice.

Election Slates
Main slates, groups and Independents
Labour to Win + Labour First + Progress (LTW/LF) - Slate probably appointed by Officers/Board/Commmittee
Mainstream + Open Labour (Main) - Slate balloted among members here and agreed here.
Momentum + CLPD (Mom/CLPD) - slate probably agreed by brokerage of a range of overlapping political and equality strand groups. They have a candidate site here.
Restoration (Rest) - Presumably agreed by any committee they have. Aim is to promote Working Class candidates across the slates
Independents (Ind)
These are also a number of women specific slates running for the Labour National Women's Committee
Labour Women Lead - aligned with Momentum/CLPD slate
Commentary on core tactics:
Compared to previous years all slates look to have put forward an optimum number of candidate to maximise/hold their position depending on how many incumbents:
LTW/LF - Defensive incumbency position to hold their 4 seats which seems sensible based on nomination numbers
Main - Aiming for one more than the two seats they hold from prev org candidates last time. They could have risked going for 4 based on nominations, but broadly going +1 on your previous result makes more sense unless clear polling of massive change and perhaps here reflects soft left "incrementalist" culture without stating it.
Mom/CLPD - Defensive incumbency position to hold their 3 seats which seems sensible based on nomination numbers
Rest - Went wide in submitting 5/6 cands at first but arguably a jungle primary to decide who stood. Could have gone for 1 candidate in first attempt, but having 2 declares they are a "slate" and they have two quite high profile names so worth a punt for them as long at their interslate transfers are high rather than just votes for individual candidates.
Generally the candidates were against the NEC having more power
Candidates felt NEC should continue to have two yearly elections. Not that many NEC members remember annual elections to the NEC!
NEC Contested Roles
Commentary
In overview we may see some small changes in the CLP section as the soft left Mainstream group establish a base on the NEC which could be at the expense of 1 Right or Left seat? Important to note though, that 3 Mainstream on the NEC would only be an advance of 1 seat on the Ann Black/Cat Arnold soft left seats of 2024 so this is less of a big gain and more reflecting a trend already established in 2024 which was possibly not considered so significant then.
The Wales seat is always highly contested and could well swing left this time in the Senedd election aftermath?
At the same time it is arguable that the unopposed Disabled Rep seat is switching from left to soft left.
Thus overall less a big change in elected seats than some might expect with the right possibly down -1/-2 to soft left and left =/-1. As I cover elsewhere on Labour Dashboard page with estimates on NEC composition, the operation of the NEC may be more important the actual election results
NEC CLP Reps - 9 to elect
An early list of candidates was here.
Candidates/Slates who have made the ballot based on nominations in 2026:
LTW/LF: 4 - 374 Nominations - 40% (-11%)
Mainstream: 3 - 305 Nominations - 34% (+12%) (Comparison is with Open Labour & Labour Women for NEC combined 22% noms share in 2022)
Mom/CLPD 3 - 168 Nominations - 18% (-2%) - see note below
Restoration 2 - 16 Nominations - 2% (New +2%)
Independent 5 - 57 Nominations - 6% (-1%)
Total: 17 (standing for 9 seats) - lowest number on ballot in 4 STV contests
Note: I have made an adjustment to the data above. The basic data said LTW/LF 168 Noms 42%, Mainstream 305 noms, 35%, Mon/CLPD 131 Noms 15%, Rest 16 noms 2%, Ind 57 noms 6%. However if Jess Barnard had been on nominations list longer and averaged her two colleagues Mom/CLPD would have had 168 Nominations and 18% share compared to LTW/LF 40% and Mainstream 34%, so I am using that figure for looking at comparative member behaviour as I think it is more accurate.
2024 Candidates and % nominations (and change on 2022 in brackets) for comparison:
Labour to Win: 6 51% (+9%) - won 4 seats
Momentum: 4 20% (-15%) - won 3 seats
Open Labour: 2 17% (+4%) - won 1 seat - now part of Mainstream
Labour Women for NEC: 5 5% (New +5%) - won 1 seat - now part of Mainstream
Independent: 10 7% (+5%) - no seats

Commentary
Current Result Estimate: LTW/LF 3-4, Main 2-3, Mom/CLPD 2-3, Rest 0-1, Ind 0-1 (this is a very tentative estimate based on past results, nominations, incumbency trends & a re-estimate of nominations based on Jess Barnard having been eligible to be nominated all through suggesting 8 seats look reasonably clear but 4 groups of candidates could be in a battle for the final seat. Possible more likely potential seat outcomes could be 3-3-3, 3-3-2-1, and 4-3-2.
Based on the Survation poll below the two most likely scenarios are 3-3-3 or 4-3-2 at present.
In terms of what candidates need to get elected, if a 12.5% t/o first round (ie 2024 t/o) maybe 1st round 2,000 & a 3,000 quota. If a 25% t/o (ie 2020 t/o) maybe 1st round 4,000 & a 6,000 quota. I suspect the latter turnout is more likely
Whilst slates will determine a lot of vote, a return to pre-2015 more mixed (ie 25%+) voting plus individual personal votes will matter. Candidate will realise that under STV even within a slate there is a popularity contest as any Irish politician could tell you.
Also important to note a low poller in a slate (ie less than 3,000 on 1st round in 25% t/o) may still do better than non slate cands. This aay benefit Mainstream as whilst they should get 2 a possible higher "transfer friendliness" and means any 3rd low poller may benefit
What may upset calculations is if any Restoration and/or Indy gets say close to 4,000 1st Rnd on a 25% t/o as it might suggest more fragmentation/mixed voting & there is a scenario where we cd have 3-2-2-1-1 type outcome
In my estimates I have changd Mainstream to 2-3 frm 3 simply to take account of up to 1 Rest/Indy 3k 1st Rnd on 25% t/o. I did toy with changing LTW/LF to 2-4 band, but keeping 3-4 at pres based on nominations, incumbency & campaign operation but lean more to 3 at present
However based on nominations & a degree of Burnham bounce social norming I would lean to 3 for Mainstream. I keep Mom/CLPD at 2-3 based on noms/incumbency, but they may benefit to hold 3 from "Reset" transfers from Mainstream depending how well they poll early?
From this, there is a scenario where Mainstream outpoll Mom/CLPD in % vote but "overclump" on 2 cands, and their later transfers help Mom/CLPD hold their 3rd seat but Mainstream's 3rd loses out to a Rest/Indy for final seat for 3-3-2-1
Past NEC results are in 2024 are here.
Polling
Labour List/Survation released this poll on 29/7/2026 at start of balloting period. My commentary is on my tweet thread but also here:
Recalculating first preferences upwards to cover the whole vote my estimate is
LTW/LF: 39% - 3 seats
Mom/CLPD: 29% - 3 seats
Main: 26%: - 3 seats
Rest: 2% - 0 seats
Ind: 4% - 0 seats
In terms of shifts that would actualy see on 1st prefs with 2024:
LTW/LF up +12%,
Mom/CLPD +3%,
Mainstream down -4% on 2024 Open Lab/LW4NEC slates.
This may show how Ann Black drew votes from all wings whilst Indy down -13% in more contested election
A note of caution is 59% t/o sounds v high as t/o in NEC elects outside being held during Leader elect at same time has been since 2017: 30%, 21%, 33%, 35%, 27%, 18% and 12%. Of course it is possible in the absense of a leader election, members are treating this as a proxy Leader contest and I had assumed t/o wd rise from 12% in 2024 to over 25%, but the poll could be right and suggest members want to express a view? If so then the LTW/LF 39% score could be quite close to what Keir Starmer might have polled as shown in some May polls if he stood (but note not Streeting/Jones though) & Main/Mom/CLPD score at 55% may have been close to a Burnham score if fighting Starmer?
All 3 main factions will draw some comfort from poll.
LTW/LF will think they can still get 4 & take out 1 Mom/CLPD.
Mon/CLPD will be reassured vote decline may have stopped & can get 3 back even though weak in terms of CLP operation from nominations, which may be more a signal of coming conference votes on internal elections.
Mainstream may be pleased with 1 gain on 2 predecessor orgs but a little disappointed with vote share. Tho good base after Ann Black era & positioning means they may be able to go for 3 incumbents +1 in 2028 & gain a Mom/CLPD seat to strengthen their role.
Restoration will be disappointed with 1st pref score. A challenge they may face is their candidates may end up a lot in people's top 3 but not get enough early 1st prefs to get them in top 9 at start of count as they may be quite "transfer friendly" then. However assuming Restoration are not going away as a faction their 2 cands this time may be strong contenders in 2028 if they do miss out & they might focus on less names at noms stage then? Converting top 3 scores into 1st prefs is probably more about building engagement over a period?
Better known Indys may also face same issue as Restoration this time as the 3 main slate contest & perhaps a "proxy leader election" dominates narrative. However Indys have polled 14%, 7% & 17% in last 3 elects so they may still poll better than the poll suggests?
In the end it is just a poll & whilst likely a third of those who will vote have voted based on limited "ballot flow" models of a balloting period we have (if anyone has any more research I wd love 2 see it) a lot of people have not yet voted so all to play for.
Candidates on ballot:
Candidate Statements Booklet and online version of statements is here

Note Minesh Parekh has withdrawn. He stood to replace Jess Barnard if her suspension was not lifted.
Restoration - 2 Candidates on Ballot
Andrew Achilleos (Rest) - 10 nominations
Stella Tsantekidou (Rest) - 6 nominations
The following three candidates from Restoration failed to secure 5 CLP nominations
Sam Theodoridi (Rest)
David Littlefair (Rest)
Jake Croft (Rest)
Independent - 5 candidates on ballot
Some have stood before and polled quite well in the ballot, though none have been elected yet.
James Turnbull (Ind) – 18 nominations
Zahida Abbas Noori (Ind) - 16 nominations
John Wiseman (Ind) - 9 nominations
George Davies (Ind) - 8 nominations
Neeraj Patil (ind) – 6 nominations
Slate Preference Voting Orders in an STV election for CLP Reps
These are regionally broken down to stop any slate members being eliminated early and 3 of the 4 slates are operating such a system
No evidence that Restoration are making similar regional level recommendations but only have two candidate, though both seem based in London
The % membership size of each region can be found on the Labour Archive page
NEC Local Gov Reps - 2 to elect
Claire Holland (LTW/LF) - sitting NEC member - 42 Nominations
Peter Wheeler (LTW/LF) - sitting NEC member - 40 Nominations
Elizabeth Dennis (Main) - 11 Nominations
Jamie Green (Mom/CLPD) - 7 Nominations
Based on past nominations and votes this does looks more than likely to see no change based on nominations. How the Mom/CLPD and Mainstream candidate separately poll should be interesting whilst their combined share in a non-aggression pact may still be narrowing the gap, which has seen LTW/LF drop 15% since 2020. Important to note though the loss of 1,498 Cllrs in 2026 which may change composition of those voting
Previous results
2024: LTW/LF 57%, Mom/CLPD 35%, OL 8%
2022: LTW/LF 67%, Mom/CLPD 33%
2020: LTW/LF/OL 72%, Mom/CLPD 28%
NEC Welsh Rep
Ann Jones (LTW/LF) - sitting NEC member - 11 Nominations
Mick Antoniw (WLG/Mom/CLPD?) - 16 Nominations
Note 1: This looks like a seat where we could see a change compared to 2024. Whilst Mick Antoniw is backed as the left candidate by WLG who is affiliated with Momentum, it should be noted he was an endorser on Keir Starmer's member election leaflet in 2020, so whilst a possible shift leftwards, if it happens he may be very engaged with the new Leadership. He is noted for his strong views in support of Ukraine so that may colour some of his other politics.
Note 2: Looks like a change is franchise for the Welsh seat ballot as looks like members and affiliates voting as I am sure it was just members in last 3 contests. This was confirmed in the Voting Booklet emailed to members and in this Unison statement here. This is organisationally possibly a good thing as it widens vote & brings Wales into line with Scotland where the Scottish NEC seat is determined by outcome of a member/affiliate ballot in the Scot Leader election. Whether it has an impact on the political outcome is another thing which we will only see, when we get the result and compare votes with the 3 previous contests.
Previous results on Member only Franchise
2024: LTW/LF 53% WLG/Mom/CLPD 47%
2022: LTW/LF 60% WLG/Mom/CLPD 40%
2020: LTW/LF 51% WLG/Mom/CLPD 49%
NEC Youth Rep
Caspar Chatham (Ind) - 7 Nominations
Elsie Greenwood (LTW/LF) (GMB) sitting NEC member - 66 Nominations
Based on nominations, level of union support and recent Young Labour elections this looks likely to see no change.
Previous results
2024: LTW/LF/OL 66%, Mom/CLPD 34%,
2022: LTW/LF/OL 51%, Mom/CLPD 43%, Ind 6%
2020: LTW/LF 39%, Mom/CLPD 61%
NEC and National Officer Posts - Elected Unopposed
NEC Disability Rep
Emily Pomroy-Smith (Ind) (Unite)
This was assumed to be a contest, but the Unions have backed Emily Pomroy-Smith who ran as an Independent for CAC last year and she has been elected unopposed. Having stood on a soft left slate with Cat Arnold in 2024, it is assumed she will as well as aligning with left leaning unions, also align with the likely Maistream reps likely to be elected to the NEC. As her predecessor was previously endorsed by Momentum/CLPD it could be argued this is a small shift from 2015-19 era Left to Soft Left.
NEC BAME Rep
Carol Sewell (Unison)
NEC Treasurer
Ruth Brady (GMB)
Auditors
Chris Kitchen (NUM)
Gwlyan Brinkworth (GMB)
Other Party Committee Elections by Conference Delegates
Based on nominations some of the CLP Rep contests below may look closer than some think, but based on the 2025 Conference Delegate composition link which can be found on the Labour Dachboard page, it is likely these may see up to 70%+ LTW/LF wins. The most interesting thing may be to see if candidates backed by Mainstream poll better than Momentum/CLPD candidates?

Original Election Result
My tweet on the results here. In summary:
In the balloted seats Organise slate seems 2 have won 10-8 on Young Labour Executive & 20-3 on Labour Students Executive compared to Renew slate based on latter's score.
Important 2 note here that there were 18 Ballot places on Young Labour Committee & 23 on Labour Students which are not the only Executive places as on Young Labour there are TU/Soc Soc/Coop/Lab Stud/NEC+NPF reps which add 16 for a total of 34 plus also Wales/Scottish Labour Student reps on Lab Students exec for a total of 25.
As a result of above, it's a rough estimate, but I would expect the composition of the two Committees would be:
Re-Run Election Results
Note: 16/03/26 - Due to what looks like an administrative error, (use of 12 months freeze date instead of 6 months) both elections are now being rerun. New results will be posted below.
In summary and based on the Renew slate report here:
In the balloted seats Organise slate seems 2 have won 13-5 on Young Labour Executive & 22-1 on Labour Students Executive compared to Renew slate based on latter's score.
Important 2 note here that there were 18 Ballot places on Young Labour Committee & 23 on Labour Students which are not the only Executive places as on Young Labour there are TU/Soc Soc/Coop/Lab Stud/NEC+NPF reps which add 16 for a total of 34 plus also Wales/Scottish Labour Student reps on Lab Students exec for a total of 25.
As a result of above, it's a rough estimate, but I would expect the composition of the two Committees would be:
Young Labour: Organise + allies 26, Renew + allies 8 - new committee will be listed here.
Labour Students: Organise 24, Renew 1
