New Speakers Announced for Young Fabians event with Lord Mandelson

The Young Fabians will kick be kicking off our 50th year celebrations this coming Saturday 16th January with a special event at the Fabian Society’s New Year Conference featuring a keynote address from Lord Mandelson at 1pm in the main conference hall.

Following Lord Mandelson’s speech there will be an exciting panel discussion on how we give the next generation of young centre-left activists new causes to fight for, and how to engage young progressives in the Fabian and Labour movement in the run up to a general election and beyond.

Our panel will now feature:

• Oona King – Former Young Fabian and Broadcaster
• Rachel Reeves – PPC for Leeds West
• Will Straw – Editor of Left Foot Forward
• Mark Rusling – Fabian Executive Member

Yes, he was once a Young Fabian Executive Member, and I can now exclusively confirm that he’ll be coming to address the Young Fabians at the Fabian Society New Year Conference on Saturday 16th January.

Lord Mandelson will give a keynote speech during the lunchtime slot which sees the launch of the Young Fabians 50th Year in existence.

Fifty years of activism, debate and campaigning for change.
