List of Labour Party (UK) general election manifestos explained

This is a list of the British Labour Party general election manifestos since the nascent party first fielded candidates at the 1900 general election.

From its foundation, general election manifestos were issued for the Labour Party as a whole, whereas the manifestos of the Conservative and Liberal parties generally took the form of a form of a short personal address by the leader of the party until the 1950s.
