Stoke Rochford Political weekend

2 weekends ago Manchester Labour Students went to Stoke Rochford for the annual political weekend where we met ministers, launched the priority campaign and generally had a good time and wound down after the by election.

Here is Alan Johnson in the process of being extensively lobbied by members of Labour Students on plans for faith schools, grammar schools and of course top up fees. He made some incredibly important points about the Governments plans for widening participation, which will ensure that more people in our constituency will get the chance to go to University.

If anyone would like to get further involved in labour students then check out the Manchester Labour Club website and the national Labour Students website. Feel free to drop Ciaran Waude the national chair an email at ciaran_ward@new.labour.org.uk or email me on gortonclp_youthandstudents@hotmail.co.uk for anything specifically to do labour students in Manchester.

The Manchester Labour vision

For the past 10 years we have had a vision of Manchester as a City of national and international significance; where people come to live and work and where companies invest. In those 10 years, we have achieved much. Rebuilding the City Centre and staging the Commonwealth Games demonstrated the City's vision and strength and helped attract organisations like of the Bank of New York and the BBC to Manchester. We need a new vision for Manchester for the next 10 years: a City where everyone has equal access to employment, opportunity and prosperity. This is where the challenge remains. Delivering this vision will result in more people living in the City and more importantly, people who are wealthier; live longer, healthier and happier lives; and are part of diverse, stable communities.
