The London Assembly Labour Group supports the work of 11 Labour Assembly Members in representing their constituents, scrutinising the work of the Mayor, and championing the interests of Londoners across the capital.
Our team plays a vital role in helping Assembly Members hold decision-makers to account, influence policy, and ensure the voices of Londoners are heard at City Hall.
We deliver this through three core functions:
Senior Researchers are at the forefront of the Labour Group's policy and scrutiny work. They provide expert advice across a broad range of areas, including planning, the economy, environment, fire, health, housing, policing and transport, helping Assembly Members develop policy positions and challenge decision-makers. Through detailed research, analysis and stakeholder engagement, they produce influential reports, briefings and recommendations that shape debate, support effective scrutiny, and contribute to improving outcomes for Londoners.
Research and Support Officers provide dedicated support to Assembly Members, managing casework and correspondence, coordinating diaries, and organising events and visits. They work closely with Members to address constituency issues, respond to local concerns, and ensure the voices of residents are heard and represented at City Hall.
Press Officers are at the forefront of promoting the Labour Group's work and ensuring Assembly Members have a strong public voice. They develop communications strategies, generate media coverage, prepare Members for television and radio interviews, craft persuasive press and digital content, and help shape the public narrative around some of the most important issues facing London today.
