Oops, I forgot I am also standing as Trade Union delegate to Local Campaign Forum, the body that runs Lewisham Labour’s Council Campaigns.
I am standing to be the Trade Union delegate to the LCF as part of the Lewisham Deptford for Corbyn Slate. This is an important job as the Labour Party remains on an election footing prepares for next year’s Mayor and Council elections. We need to build an LCF and Council Group that feels accountable to its membership and voters.
I believe the Labour Party needs to turn to the Left and support the current Leadership and the 2017 manifesto. The party needs to be more democratic, and listen to its members, in 2015, while Secretary here, the question I was most asked was how to I contribute my ideas to the Party’s manifesto.
I voted for Dianne Abbott in 2010, and Jeremey Corbyn in both 2015 & 2016.
I have not stood to be a Councillor and thus will have no conflict of interest. I have been a trade unionist all my working life; I am a member of the GMB.
Please vote for me and other candidates looking to build a more inclusive, listening and socialist party.
