Breakfast Club (British politics)

Last updated

The Breakfast Club referred to an informal group of four Labour Party politicians, set up following the party's defeat in the 2015 General Election, amid leadership speculation.

The four members [1] [2] [3] gained their seats at the 2010 General Election, and were seen to be from the 'Blairite' third way wing of the party:

All members endorsed Liz Kendall's bid for leadership of the party, [4] although Kendall's commitment to the group had been disputed, with reported absences from group meetings and one MP reportedly saying “I don’t think Liz eats breakfast.” [5]

The term was in reference to early morning meetings in Portcullis House, reportedly "to plot the future." [6]
