All three of Momentum’s flagship proposals were adopted by the Labour Party, giving the organisation a 100% success rate on conference floor in 2019. Over the summer Momentum campaigned for a socialist Green New Deal including a 2030 decarbonisation target, abolishing all detention centres and a shorter working week. At Labour conference, the party adopted all three policies, with the Green New Deal and ending detention centres passing overwhelmingly on the floor and a shorter working week being announced by the shadow chancellor John McDonnell.
Momentum worked closely with member-led campaign groups Labour for a Green New Deal, Labour Against Racism and Fascism and Labour for a Four Day Week as well as the FBU, TSSA, CWU and Bakers Union. This was the first conference in decades where activists and trade unions used conference to develop policy and win significant victories on the conference floor.
