Progressive Britain, formerly known as Progress that was founded in 1996 to support the New Labour leadership of Tony Blair, is an independent organisation of Labour Party members, which aims to promote "radical and progressive politics for the 21st century."

Progress merged with Policy Network in May 2021 to form Progressive Britain.

Progressive Britain organises conferences and other events, and provides training and mentoring for likeminded candidates seeking selection as Labour MPs.

Document:Progress MP joins Unite's unwaged section for GenSec voteblog post7 April 2017Joining Unite in order to participate in the General Secretary ballot is legitimate and some are known to have done so to support Len McCluskey. However, making a false declaration in order to do so ‘on the cheap’ is certainly not legitimate and such applications need to be rooted out and their votes invalidated.
