What's next for TWT?
The challenges that lie ahead for the British left are clear, even if the path through them is not. This election result is …
It’s been a while. In the period since the last TWT in October 2023 much has changed. We’ve been busy, quietly preparing and reorganising for the next chapter - and that next chapter starts…
Now.
The World Transformed is back, and it will be in Manchester from 10th-12th October 2025, bringing the British left together to debate, strategise and connect.
You don’t need us to tell you that the need to organise is critical right now: much of the world is rapidly tacking right, and Britain itself is staring down the barrel of a Reform surge at the next General Election. Meanwhile genocide in Palestine still rages, the climate crisis drops even further down the political agenda, and just getting by is harder and harder for most of us.
This festival is being organised with trade unions, social movements and organisations from across the left. We’ll come together to debate strategic priorities, build a popular leftwing counterpunch to Starmerism and Reform, strengthen international solidarity, invigorate workplace militancy, and form stronger bases of left politics across the country.
And yes, TWT is no longer taking place alongside the Labour Party conference. The moment demands that we continue to coordinate at a national scale - it's time to make a new space for that. We invite you to and come be part of it.
For now all you need to do is save the date and tell your friends. Full details and tickets will be announced in the weeks and months ahead.
We know October is later than we’d initially said, but the extra time has given us the space required to get our ducks in a row, and we need to get it right. We hope we’ll see you there.
In solidarity,
The TWT Team
