Queen Mary Labour Society

[citation needed] QMLS has been an active society in the Tower Hamlets region, with members campaigning during the general elections of 1992, helping contribute towards the +7.6% swing towards Labour[3] and, more prominently, in 1997.

In 2004/05 the Society was reinstated by students who wanted to bring back a strong alternative voice to the East End.

Labour supporters at the Queen Mary University experienced a very difficult and volatile campaign during this period waged by opposition who heavily campaigned against the MP on her position on the Iraq War.

The society now also holds regular speaker events, and helps train members in campaigning.

Recent speakers include the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, and MPs Rushanara Ali, Peter Hain and Andy Burnham.
