Why I'm Standing

Why I'm Standing in Earley and Woodley

As a local councillor in our constituency, I know just how much we need a Labour Government after thirteen years of Tory chaos. We know the Tories will fight tooth and nail to win Earley and Woodley. If we want a Labour government we have to beat them.

We need a highly effective and high profile campaigner right from day one. Ready to win, and ready to deliver.

I am that candidate.

“As a campaigner, as a councillor, as a Trade Unionist, I have got things done. I’ve used cooperative values to deliver clean energy on public and community buildings.

Working with UNISON, I won a living wage and fair terms and conditions for Reading care workers in the private sector. And I delivered the first new council housing to our area in a generation.”

I will deliver for Earley and Woodley
