I have real life experience to support my commitment to the party and the people I would be proud to represent. This includes personally enduring severe economic hardship under Tory governments when bringing up a young family. I know at first hand what life is about under Tory rule, surviving two Tory recessions living at times, hand to mouth, from... working as a street cleaner and even as an animal lover in an abattoir just to simply provide for my family. I have the sincere resolve to help create a better society with Labours principles of equality, fairness and respect for people in all situations and walks of life. I have run for Parliament twice in two hard fought campaigns increasing the vote and I am an active campaigner all year round not just at election time. Ill be standing alongside members, Cllrs and my trade union colleagues as Ive done wherever I have lived and worked for the Labour Party. We need to champion Jeremy Corbyn as our next Prime Minister and I have done that that since he first announced his candidacy in 2015. Im Branch Secretary of UNITE Northants Central and Chair of the Northants Area Activists Committee. I also served as Vice Chair on the SERTUC International Affairs committee. Ive been a vigorous campaigner for the mine workers, ambulance workers, fire-fighters, teachers, health service workers and shop workers. As your Labour MP I will campaign with you and my trade union colleagues to protect jobs and services throughout the constituency and I pledge that I will: Fully support Jeremy Corbyn as our leader and to work hard in delivering Labours Manifesto which will include making sure that councils will be able to borrow money to build council homes therefore guaranteeing people a long term secure tenancy and taking away some of the financial pressures bestowed upon them by greedy private landlords, bringing our railways, energy and water companies along with the Post Office back into the public sector.
