Lucy Powell elected Labour’s deputy leader with 54% of vote, vowing bolder progressive agenda amid party divisions.
Lucy Powell has been elected Labour’s new deputy leader, defeating Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson with 54% of the vote in a contest marked by low turnout at 16.6%.
Powell, removed from the Cabinet in a recent reshuffle, campaigned for a bolder Labour agenda, urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to clarify the party’s purpose and reject shifting right to counter Reform UK.
She emphasized building a progressive consensus and reclaiming the political narrative from figures like Nigel Farage.
Her new role allows her to critique government policy from the back benches without collective responsibility, highlighting growing internal debate within the party as it faces early challenges.
