The Party of European Socialists is holding its Congress next week in Porto (details here) and the Labour Movement for Europe will be there - well, at least Henning and Jon from the Exec of LME-LSE will be there. Henning is manning the stand for the Social Europe Journal, and Jon (and Helena Markstedt) are there as PES Activists. There will be plenty of updates about the Congress posted here, and also over at Jon’s blog and on the PES website too.
Jon is also one of the bloggers for the event on the PES website - more details here.

LME-LSE ran an event to look at the voting impact of EU citizens - and especially Poles - in the UK local, London mayor, and European elections. Details of the event are here. Discussion was lively at the event, and has actually led to an audio report about the subject at Guardian Unlimited - thanks to the work of Ros Taylor who was present at the event. You can hear the report here.
The Guardian also had a chuckle (read it here) at the idea of discussing this issue at a pub called The Plumbers Arms - it’s a co-incidence, honest! We’ve been at that pub for a while.
Beyond that, the event was listed in the European Commission UK Office’s calendar here - not bad for a small event!

The kind folks over at Bloggers4Labour have listed the EUROPA-Soirée on 21st November on their calendar system - see this post about the service, and the details of the event at the main LME-LSE website. So we’re getting the pro-EU message across via the blogging community at least!

OK, we’re up and running! The multi-user blog of the Labour Movement for Europe branch in London and the South East (LME-LSE). This is in addition to our main website.
So, what’s the idea here? Basically, members of the Exec of LME-LSE will be able to post their ideas and thoughts here as a forum for debate about EU issues in the UK, social democratic values across the EU, and any related matters that come to mind. Others are welcome to contribute to the blog - send us an e-mail and we’ll include you!
So, bonne lecture!
