Politics can often still seem to be trapped in a ‘Westminster Bubble’ where decisions are made, in large part, by people who have not experienced the issues facing working people in Britain today.
GMB is made of hundreds of thousands of members who help deliver our public services, power our homes, keep our shops open and manufacture some of the country’s best loved products. Our members have a wealth of real life experience that is so often missing from council chambers and the green benches of the House of Commons, and have the values needed to create a more equal society which puts power in the hands of working people.
GMB is committed to training and supporting members to stand for public office and provide political development opportunities for members so that we have a strong voice in all aspects of political life.
GMB offers training and support to members looking to stand for public office. If you are interested in any of these opportunities please download and complete the form below and email politics@gmb.org.uk
