Slogan "Stronger Together"

After reviewing the Labour Party webpage, it appears the term "Stronger Together" is not a slogan, but simply a motto for a roadmap of policies for the party and also a page header for its respective page on the website. This is not an official logo like "Build Back Better" has been for the Conservatives. I am proposing the "Slogan" section in the infobox be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.211.16.54 (talk) 22:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Google defines a slogan as "a motto associated with a political party or movement or other group."[1] TFD (talk) 01:33, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mayors and seats diagrams

Hi all. I've made a suggestion regarding mayors and seat diagrams on the Conservative party talk page here, which may also be of interest to editors of this article too. Let me know what you think (preferably on the other talk page). Thanks! FollowTheTortoise (talk) 19:12, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've mocked up what the appropriate diagram would look like for the Labour party on the right. FollowTheTortoise (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done (with amendments). FollowTheTortoise (talk) 10:26, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the link Deputy leader of the Labour Party (UK) to Deputy Leader of the Labour Party (UK) as it is capitalised. 86.191.232.137 (talk) 17:01, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Already done The only link I can see is already linked as "Deputy Leader of the Labour Party (UK)" Terasail ^[✉️] 01:26, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Labour no-longer Identifies as Centre-Left

Keir Starmer has outright stated this https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/keir-starmer-keynote-speech-labour-party-conference-liz-truss-tory-kwasi-kwarteng-b1028265.html https://www.mailplus.co.uk/edition/news/politics/108227/sir-keir-starmer-lays-out-centrist-vision-for-labour-in-12000-word-essay https://jacobin.com/2021/06/labour-party-centrism-blairism-progressive-britain-keir-starmer https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/29/world/europe/britain-labour-keir-starmer.html https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/26/labour-conference-starmer-party-financial-responsibility https://www.leaderscouncil.co.uk/news/labour-is-back-at-the-centre-of-political-spectrum-sir-keir-starmer-to-tell-party-conference

I suggest the party is changed to "Centre to Centre-Left" and have it only as factions for "Social Democracy" and "Democratic Socialism" aswell. there is no reference to socialism, social democracy, nor democratic socialism on the website 82.14.227.184 (talk) 17:46, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, although I think any mention of 'Left' is misleading. --Andromedean (talk) 18:11, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What Labour identifies as doesn't matter - we go with what the sources say. — Czello 18:28, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no contradiction in saying that Labour is centrist, center-left or left-wing. It all depends on the context of the speaker. That's why using these terms in the info-box makes no sense. TFD (talk) 17:04, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deputy leader should be Deputy Leader, please change the grammar 86.191.232.221 (talk) 21:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC) 86.191.232.221 (talk) 21:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's style guide for job titles is to use sentence case. Ralbegen (talk) 22:03, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK but it is a needless redirect. 86.191.232.221 (talk) 10:28, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Slogan

The source used for the Labour Party slogan states the slogan is "A fairer, greener future", but looking at the Labour Party website there full logo appears to be; "Stronger Together, a fairer greener future with Labour", this should be modified in the infobox, or at least a variant of it, example; "Stronger Together, a fairer greener future".
