General election 2024: Thousands sign up to campaign for Labour – LabourList


Thousands of people have signed up to help get Labour into government since the general election was called.

Almost 65,000 people have pledged to volunteer with the election campaign, up by more than 4,000 since Rishi Sunak called the general election yesterday evening.

Thousands joined Labour’s campaign ranks overnight, with the number of volunteers standing at a total of just under 61,000 shortly before 9pm yesterday.

It comes as Labour leader Keir Starmer kicked off Labour’s election campaign alongside deputy leader Angela Rayner in Gillingham this morning.

Addressing supporters in the Kent constituency, some of whom held placards that read “change”, Starmer said: “The time has come and the wait is over. And that means through the power of our democracy, the voters now get to choose. A vote for Labour is a vote to stop the chaos.”

Labour is hopeful of making gains in Kent, including Gillingham and Rainham, after making gains on councils across the county, including in Medway.
