Tribune was first formed as a support group for the newspaper Tribune in 1964, acting as a parliamentary caucus for the Labour left until 1982. In 1982, it became the parliamentary caucus for the soft left after the break away of Tony Benn's hard left Socialist Campaign Group. Tribune was disbanded in the 1990s, before reforming in 2002 after disagreements between Labour's backbenchers and Tony Blair. The current iteration of Tribune was formed in 2016 by Clive Efford, who serves as its chairman. It is on the soft left of the Labour Party but also includes centrist members.
In recent years, the Tribune Group has co-operated with the Campaign Group.
