I'm standing for the Labour Party National Policy Forum because I believe that when we're bleeding votes in every direction, we need to return home to true Labour values and reconnect with our trade union roots.

The government has already passed landmark legislation such as the Employment Rights Act and Renters' Rights Act which will benefit ordinary people, but if voters are still waiting to feel the changes they were promised in 2024, they will lose their faith in Labour and our political system.

We need to be more ambitious. We will not win elections by appeasing right-wing rhetoric, and to do so would reveal a leadership that is out of touch with party members and what the general public truly wants. Instead, the NPF should push for mainstream ideas that will tackle wealth inequality, including public ownership for all transport and utilities, and taxes on extreme wealth to fund better support services and social care.

Our party shouldn't take its membership for granted. We are not just canvassers, we are workers, renters, and taxpayers affected by the same policies we campaign for. The NPF should be a democratic and transparent body, and I will fight for better accountability and member representation.
