Ed Miliband Visits the Students’ Union

Ed Miliband MP, the Cabinet Office Minister and Labour Party Manifesto Coordinator, visited the University of Manchester Students’ Union on Tuesday for a Freshers’ Week event hosted by Manchester Labour Students. He gave a speech followed by a question and answer session.

The event was well attended by around 200 students who asked questions including how the Labour Party should go about its 4th term election campaign, student finance and LGBT rights. The evening also included brief speeches by Chair of Manchester Labour Students, Mike Joslin and Labour Parliamentary Candidate for Manchester Withington, Lucy Powell.

The Politics Society has written an article about the event which includes more photos:

Manchester Labour Students are very grateful that Ed took the time to talk to students in the Steve Biko Building and hope that this marks the start of a successful series of events in this coming year.
