Last night, with LGBT Labour, London Young Labour and the Young Fabians, LabourList co-hosted a hugely successful debate watch party, with over 100 people joining us in London.

We were joined by Labour’s general secretary Ray Collins, Chris Bryant and Harriet Harman – who took the opportunity to launch Labour’s LGBT manifesto. Both Chris Bryant and Harriet Harman criticised Chris Grayling’s views on gay rights in B&Bs and said the Tory shadow home secretary should be sacked.

We also took Labour’s message out to people in Soho, before making hundreds of calls to voters in Tooting.

Here are some photos from the event:
