A number of days have passed since the hope of a progressive country that protects its most vulnerable and funds the basic social systems required in order for its citizens to survive was consigned to history.

Youth Politics UK held its inaugural conference at Manchester Grammar School earlier this month to outline its aims and initiate debate on topics such as Brexit.

YouthPolitics UK will be holding their first ever press event at Manchester Grammar School this Saturday with keynote speakers Alastair Campbell and Andy Burnham.

After speaking to dozens upon dozens of people, most notably former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell and the Pirate Party’s Loz Kaye, to get their views on the drugs legalisation debate, MM lays bare the truths of these conversations.

With 2015 being touted as the first social media election, MM spoke to an array of political experts to find out just how important Twitter will be in determining who will be walking through the Downing Street doors come May.
