I’m standing for re-election to the NEC to continue to speak out for members, the lifeblood of our Party.
I’ve been on Labour’s ruling body since 2018, consistently advocating transformative economic policies, a more positive agenda on migration, and for peace and justice internationally.
I strongly support the 2025 Labour Conference policy for stronger action against the Gaza genocide, and TUC policy for wages not weapons. We must defend our NHS and take urgent action on climate change.
Empowering members is my top priority. I actively promote Party democracy, including dynamic, inclusive equalities structures, members’ right to select candidates and a strong trade union link.
As a BAME woman, social worker, anti-racist activist and Councillor, my experiences fuel my determination to fight for a Labour government that transforms society.
With a new leadership, we have a real opportunity to listen to members and affiliates and change course to be successful in government, addressing spiralling living costs and challenge a rise in far-right politics.
I’m pleased to be supported by the Centre-Left Grassroots Alliance. Please vote for me, Jess Barnard and Gemma Bolton as your top preferences, followed by other candidates who have endorsed the Reset the Labour Party statement.
