I will fight for a policy platform in the interests of the many, not the few, based on anti-poverty, pro-social justice and anti-racist principles.
Labour’s programme must also be based on membership involvement.
The policies pursued by the Labour Government need to change. I believe my views represent those of the membership and I have the skills based on decades in the movement to ensure that progressive critiques are made and policies developed.
The policies need to change and I believe I can help make this happen.
I will work hard, represent the regions members, and keep in touch.
My experience as an economist, IT professional, trade unionist, and civil rights campaigner would best suit me for the Economy, Culture, or Democracy commissions.
I have been a member of the Labour Party for 52 years and have held various positions with it and stood for public office.
I am President of my GMB branch, trained in employment law; I represent & organise members in their workplace.
I am a member/subscriber to Amnesty, Liberty, the Open Rights Group, and the Labour Movement for Europe. I am active in Another Europe and CLPD.
