John Cunnison

The Labour Party faces the greatest challenge in living memory with a real possibility of declining into irrelevance. Politics as usual is over. Voters are picking the party or position most rejecting the status quo, starting with the Liberal Conservative coalition, through Brexit up to the landslide victory we witnessed in 2024. Labour must be bold. Labour needs to reconnect with its trade union roots and give working people tangible benefits, like we did in 1945, to secure their vote. We are the transformative party that will guide our society to an inclusive, progressive future. But is a task that will only be achieved by presenting positive policies and acting collectively.

I believe in collaboration, seeking to focus on the 90% we have in common rather than the 10% that divides us. I have many years experience in the party acting as chair, secretary, treasurer, LGC delegate and group observer. I have stood for the party as council candidate and for Stoke South PPC. I am also very active within Unite, being branch secretary and regional labour party liaison committee delegate. If elected I will bring a wealth of ideas, passion and organising skills to the NPF.
