You do not have to be a Labour member, study politics, or have any political experience to get involved. Whether you are deeply interested in politics, just starting to explore your views, or simply looking for a welcoming group of people at Queen Mary, you are very welcome.
What do we get up to?
There is much more to us than political meetings. Throughout the year, you can expect:
Weekly Thursday socials
Drinks, games, conversations and plenty of opportunities to meet people, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
Policy debates and discussions
Fancy talking about the latest political drama? Come along, share your views, hear different perspectives and get involved in lively discussions.
MPs and guest speakers
Hear directly from people working in politics, campaigning and public life, and get the chance to ask your own questions.
Careers events and panels
Interested in politics, public policy, campaigning or related careers? Meet people working in the field, hear about their experiences and build your network.
Lectures and political events
Explore the big ideas and issues shaping our society, from local politics to national and international affairs.
Campaigning and community activities
Get hands-on experience, meet people beyond campus and find ways to turn your political interests into action.
Most importantly, we are here to meet people, make friends, have interesting conversations and enjoy university life together.
Freshers Opening Night
We are kicking off the year with our Historical East London Pub Crawl.
We will explore the Labour, socialist and trade union history of the East End, visiting historic venues, hearing some fascinating stories and meeting new people along the way.
From Clement Attlee and the development of the Labour movement to the Matchgirls' Strike and the history of working-class organising, we will discover some of the people and events that helped shape the area and British politics.
Politics, history, pubs and new friends. A pretty good way to start the year.
