Interns' Network: Working for free in Westminster

At any one time there are around 3000 people working for free in parliament, think tanks, ngos and the political media. These organisations are supposed to be the heartbeat of our democracy but to get a job, people are expected to work for extended periods for free.

You can subscribe for weekly updates of jobs, events and news by emailing
