We ABOUT THE influence political and public thinking and provide a space for broad and open-minded debate. We publish insight, analysis and opinion in print and online; conduct research FABIAN SOCIETY and undertake major policy inquiries; convene conferences, speaker meetings and roundtables; and facilitate member debate and activism right across the UK. We are one of the original founders of the Labour party and are constitutionally affiliated to the party as a socialist society. As a think tank, we seek to influence political and policy debate. Our staff team in London and Edinburgh work with a wide network of leading politicians and policy experts to develop and promote new ideas and to influence the climate of political opinion. We are also a membership society and our members are at the heart of everything we do. They set the society’s direction, through member meetings, elections and committees. They shape our programme as contributors and volunteers. Each year hundreds of activities are organised by and for our members by autonomous sections of the society – the Young Fabians, the Fabian Women’s Network, the Scottish Fabians, the Welsh Fabians – and by more than 40 affiliated local Fabian societies. What we stand for The Fabian Society is a socialist organisation which aims to promote: • Greater equality of power, wealth and opportunity • The value of collective action and public service • An accountable, tolerant and active democracy • Citizenship, liberty and human rights • Sustainable development • Multilateral international cooperation The society is a place for open debate where approved by the executive committee. Autonomous disagreement is expected and respected. As an sections of the society and local Fabian societies organisation we take no collective positions and we also have their own constitutions. The Fabian do not campaign for particular policies.

We do not undertake lobbying Our political and policy programme is focused on projects. The society is entirely independent from the three core themes: Labour party. Our editorial output is not shaped or controlled by the party in any way. • The left, politics and the future of Britain • The state, collectivism and inequality • Good work and sustainable prosperity Accountability and transparency The society is led by a democratically elected executive committee consisting of members representing all parts of the society.

  • Lisa Nandy MP, Shadow Foreign Secretary
    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, 21ST MARCH, 2021 - LISA NANDY, MP ANDREW MARR SHOW, 21ST MARCH, 2021 LISA NANDY, MP SHADOW FOREIGN SECRETARY (Please check against delivery (uncorrected copies)) AM Lisa Nandy, it’s clear that the EU threat to block vaccines coming into the UK is still live. If that happens, how should the UK respond? LN: Well, I think the President of the European Commission’s comments were deeply, deeply unhelpful. I think that it was right listening to the Commissioner just now that we should try to calm down these tensions. We’ve seen throughout this process that we do better when we work together, that if we don’t defeat the virus everywhere we’re not going to defeat it anywhere, and there are new strains of the virus that are currently emerging. The South African variant which scientists are particularly worried about that is starting to gain traction in France that we need to be very mindful of. We may not be out of the woods with Covid yet and so we’ve got to work together. That means we need to calm these tensions; blockades are really unhelpful. I would urge the European Commission to calm down the language, cool the rhetoric and let’s try and work together to get through this crisis. AM: One of the crucial components of the Pfizer vaccine is made in Cheshire. If the EU banned the export of vaccines into the UK would the UK be justified in banning the exports of components back into the EU? LN: Well look, this is precisely the tit for tat we don’t want to get into.
