Labour has created 25 new quangos since taking office, averaging one unelected body per week, analysis has revealed. The proliferation of arms-length bodies, task forces and advisory councils comes as economic growth has stalled following Labour's election victory and £40billion in tax rises.

Since winning the election, the Labour Party under Sir Keir Starmer has been criticized for creating a new quango (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization) every week, leading to accusations of over-regulating the UK economy. According to the TaxPayers' Alliance, Labour has established 13 new quangos in the 13 weeks since their victory, which they argue adds unnecessary bureaucratic layers and costs to taxpayers. These new bodies include entities like the Office for Net Zero Delivery and the Office for Value for Money, aimed at addressing various policy areas. Critics, including the Conservative Party, claim this approach is reminiscent of the 1970s, potentially stifling economic growth with excessive regulation. However, Labour defends these actions, asserting that these organizations are essential for implementing their policy agenda effectively and ensuring accountability and efficiency in public services.
