OUR HISTORY

Name: LSESU Labour Society
Address: Houghton Street, London

We are one of the country's oldest and most influential Labour Clubs

1895 - LSE founded 'for the betterment of society' by Fabians Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Graham Wallas, and George Bernard Shaw.

1900 - Fabians co-create the Labour Representation Committee; Sidney Webb co-writes its constitution.

1921 - LSE students co-create the University Labour Federation.

1940 - LSE Labour becomes independent from the University Labour Federation.

1968 - LSE Labour leads the 1968 protests at LSE; the chairman of LSE Labour is elected to lead the LSE Students' Union.

Campaigning for justice since 1921

We've fought against the introduction of fees, unfair pay, and austerity.

In 1968 we led protest against LSE's supression of student protest, and against the appointment of Walter Adams.

We've also stood up to antisemitism: in 2018 we boycotted Westminster CLP over the decision to invite Chris Williamson to an All-Members Meeting.
