Labour Land Campaign
A UK group advocating land value taxation within the Labour movement, keeping the land question alive in British left politics.
Overview
The Labour Land Campaign advocates for land value taxation within the British Labour movement and the wider UK left. It carries forward a tradition in British politics — running through the 1909 People's Budget — that treats taxing the unearned value of land as a progressive cause.
Work
The Campaign produces briefings and policy arguments aimed at trade unionists, Labour members, and policymakers, framing LVT as a tool against land monopoly, housing unaffordability, and inequality. It tracks land-tax developments in UK politics and presses for the idea within party policy debates.
