John Mann MP

John Mann, MP for Bassetlaw and Chair of All-Party Parliamentary Group on Anti-Semitism, came to Manchester on Friday as part of an event discussing Anti-Semitism and racism in Universities and in the country.

John told of his time as Welfare Officer at UMSU and as Chair of Manchester Labour Students when he was at University in Manchester. He also talked about the work is he currently doing in Parliament and how we fight the BNP in future elections.

John was presented with an honorary club membership card and made Honorary President of Manchester Labour Students.

Update

It has been a little while since there has been a blog post. Not much has happen really apart from:

• Barack Obama being elected President of the United States along with massive success for Democrats in the House and Senate
  
• Labour winning the Glenrothes by-election against all the odds by 6,737, not bad for one we were expected to lose – with many members of Manchester Labour Students campaigning there right up until Polling Day 
  
• Our Students’ Union, UMSU, passing a No-Platform policy and sweeping reforms to Students’ Union Council making it more democratic and sensible
  
• Our Chair, Mike Joslin, being elected Chair of North West Young Labour at North West Regional Conference
  
• Lots of Yes campaigning ahead of the Greater Manchester Transport Referendum – Vote YES by the way!
  

Ok, so quite a lot of stuff has happened.
