Labour Together, formerly known as Common Good Labour, is a British think tank closely associated with the Labour Party. Founded in June 2015, it supported Keir Starmer in the 2020 Labour Party leadership election. It works to measure public opinion and develop political policy. The group supported Labour in the 2024 general election, as well as for a second term in government.[1] It is regarded by The Guardian, Politico, The Times, and Business Insider as a highly influential group upon the Starmer-led Labour Party,[1][2][3][4] and seen as an "incubator" of its 2024 manifesto.[3] It has sought to resemble the centre-right think tank Onward.[5]

Under Simons the group has modeled itself on Onward, the center-right think tank which is close to Rishi Sunak's Downing Street.
