I first joined the party in the late seventies and have taken on various roles. Currently I’m Disability Officer for Leeds North East, Trades Union Liaison Officer for Disability Labour and an observer member of Leeds TUC.

Whilst supporting the positive policies enacted by our Labour government I believe there needs to be greater emphasis on traditional Labour values to support those with greatest need if we are to continue to live up to the rulebook definition of being a democratic socialist party.

I’ve been a trade unionist all my working life including involvement in NUT/NEU locally and nationally. Currently I’m an active member of Unite Community.

Previously I was a teacher and an Equality (Women and Girls) Officer for Leeds LEA, working intersectionally with other equality officers. Equalities issues are embedded in all policy areas and I have expertise which would be useful in this area.

I love living in a multiracial city where a Labour Council is implementing ground-breaking policies on areas such as housing, social care, support for immigrants and asylum seekers, children’s services, green issues, and others which could feed into national policy development.

I’m happy to be supported by CLGA. Please also support Molly Holland, Paul Truswell and Stanley Amies (Youth).
