The First Labour Party Conference

The First Labour Party Conference, held in 1900, was the initial gathering of representatives from various labor and socialist groups in the UK, aiming to coordinate efforts for workers' rights and social reform. It established the Labour Representation Committee, which eventually became the Labour Party, advocating for policies like improved working conditions, fair wages, and social justice. This conference marked the beginning of a unified political voice for the working class, laying the foundation for the party’s future role in British politics and its commitment to social equality.
