Richard Angell is Director of the right wing Labour Party movement Progress. He is the founder of Labour’s three seats challenge (#Lab3seats) and has run marginal seat campaigns for the UK Labour party, and its sister party, Australian Labor. He is elected to the TUC’s LGBT committee and to the Labour Party Irish Society as its LGBT officer.
Richard Angell is a former trade union official for Community Union and worked for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Combatting Antisemitism. He served on Labour’s National Policy Forum (2010-15), as secretary of LGBT Labour (2008-11) and chair of Young Labour (2007-2009).[1]
In an opinion piece in The Guardian of 26 September 2017, Richard Angell demanded to know what Labour's position is on Brexit, saying "It's time Corbyn told us".[2]
Three months earlier, Angell told The Independent:
- “We’re losing a £260,000 a year grant. If we don’t replace it there is a scenario in which Progress could close, that’s a real possibility."[3]
