Labour leader Ed Miliband visited the Silverlock Hall in Rotherhithe on Thursday for a Q&A session introduced by local prospective parliamentary candidate Neil Coyle.
The invited audience included a mix of party members, supporters, community activists and first time voters.
Miliband spent nearly an hour fielding questions on a wide range of topics including housing, support for carers, policing in Rotherhithe, the Aylesbury Estate redevelopment and the prospect of a Labour-Lib Dem coalition.
After the main Q&A we had the opportunity to interview the Labour leader – look out for articles over on the SE1 website very soon covering Miliband’s response to questions about overseas investors buying property in Southwark, the Bakerloo line extension, disruption at London Bridge Station and how he feels about the prospect of Neil Coyle unseating Simon Hughes.
