Our Supporters
In Parliament
Labour Friends for NATO (LFN) actively support parliamentarians across both the House of Commons and the House of Lords in debates, discussions, and events centred on international defence. Our mission is to encourage MPs and peers to champion the transatlantic alliance, advocate for a robust collective security strategy, and counter the isolationist rhetoric that too often threatens Western democratic solidarity.
