Labour Commits to Football Governance Reforms, Rules Out Transfer Levy

Keir Starmer's party plans to introduce an independent regulator and prevent European Super League-style breakaways if elected.

Labour leader Keir Starmer confirmed the party will not pursue a 10% Premier League transfer levy.
The proposed levy was part of a 2021 fan-led review to support lower-tier clubs and grassroots football.
Labour's manifesto includes a commitment to reform football governance and give fans more control over their clubs.
An independent regulator is a key feature of Labour's proposed football governance bill.
The party aims to ensure financial sustainability and prevent future breakaway leagues.
