I believe passionately in our party values – equality, community, tolerance, solidarity and a socially just society. I want to continue putting my Labour values into action and serve people in our communities as well as our party.
For the last 32 years, I am proud to have worked in the substance misuse and mental health field in our precious NHS. I am passionate about tackling inequality in all its forms.
As a councillor on Wirral Borough Council and as Deputy Leader of the Labour Group, I understand the challenges our communities and public services face. I really enjoy being a community champion, avid campaigner and activist, and have enjoyed visiting CLPs to talk about the work of the NEC and listen to people’s feedback and views.
I am on the North West Regional Executive Committee, as well as CLP Treasurer, and Campaign Coordinator for our Borough Campaign Group. I also serve as a school governor, and as a board member for our local Youth Zone.
I am a member of Managers in Partnership (part of UNISON) and Christians on the Left.
Please also nominate Abdi Duale, Peter Mason and Jane Thomas.
I am standing for re-election to Labour’s NEC to ensure CLPs and members remain at the heart of our party.
My family was lifted out of poverty by a Labour Government, so I know personally the difference Labour in power makes. That is why I have spent years campaigning and supporting our candidates. As a former organiser, I know our values only change lives when they’re matched with hard graft, strong local parties, unity across our movement, and a focus on winning.
Over the past four years, I have interviewed dozens of Labour candidates who are now MPs, Mayors, and Councillors serving their communities. At a time when Reform and the populist right are on the rise, we must remain united and deliver the change we promised.
With a Labour government now in office, the NEC’s role is crucial. With your support, I’ll continue to:
I am a proud GMB member. Please also consider supporting Angela Davies, Peter Mason, and Jane Thomas.
The Labour Party can only win for working people if we are united and in power.
I led the Jewish Labour Movement during one of the darkest points in our Party’s history. We can’t ever go back to failure and divisiveness.
I now lead a Labour Council, with a Labour Government at our back – implementing Labour priorities, with Labour values, delivering change for people who rely on us every day to have their backs.
We’ve seen the destruction caused by the Tories to our communities. We can’t let them do it again, whatever shade of blue they campaign under.
Governing is tough, and needs determination, focus and composure. Every election matters. Every advancing step toward achieving our manifesto and fulfilling our promise to the British people, matters.
If you re-elect me to the NEC, my focus will remain sharply on ensuring we are fighting hard to win in national legislatures, city and town halls across the country year-round, and are ready and energised to win the next general election.
I’m standing together with the Labour to Win team. Please also nominate and support Angela Davies, Abdi Duale and Jane Thomas.
As a member of the NEC in the last 2 years I have been only too aware of the vital role in keeping you as members connected and valued. I take this role seriously, acknowledging the Party’s financial, legal and political responsibilities.
I’ve spent time supporting the National Women’s Committee, advocating for better support to those women in elected positions who are facing increased abuse on a daily basis. The work we do this year to combat violence against Women and Girls is vital.
I bring substantial and varied campaign experience to the NEC. Formerly Chair of South Yorkshire Women’s Development Trust, Head of the England team at Friends of the Earth, executive member of the European Movement, active on Sheffield’s Fairness Commission.
I also bring substantial political campaigning experience to the NEC – member of Yorkshire Regional Board, a regular feature out on the doorstep and leading the election of Labour’s first mayor in South Yorkshire.
This is a vital year – internationally and at home. Unity is vital. And focus on the main prize – delivery of our ambitions in our communities and a second term Labour government.
Unison member. Please also nominate Angela Davies, Abdi Duale and Peter Mason.
Please nominate Angela, Abdi, Peter and Jane at your next CLP meeting
It’s been an honour to serve as the voice of Local government on the NEC, with my colleague Peter Wheeler.
I have attended every meeting. Accountability is critical. We have been pleased to share reports – these are available to view here.
We understand the challenges faced by councillors and have raised these successfully on your behalf from councillor safety to more support for our local elections, to reinstating our pensions, which is a great victory for us all.
We work closely and positively with the LLRG (formerly ALC) executive and the LGA labour group to ensure we are joined up.
I am always happy to speak with individual councillors and Groups directly. Thank you to those who have got in touch. If given the chance to continue to serve, I will be there for all of you. I recognise many of you face the issue of LGR. This will be a priority over the next term for the NEC.
As we move into a key phase of delivery for the government, strong, experienced representation for local government on the NEC is essential. With your support, I will continue to be that passionate, robust, accountable voice, with Peter, on your behalf.
Together with my colleague, Claire Holland, I am one of the Local Government representatives on the National Executive Committee.
I am the Chief Whip on Cheshire West and Chester Council and am a member of the Cheshire Fire Authority and the LGA Fire Services Committee. I am a lifelong Labour member and Trades Unionist.
Like you, I am active in my local community on issues that affect our people:
The Food Banks
The Litter Picks
The Door Knocking
Working with Claire on the NEC we raise important national issues affecting local councillors whether it’s local Government reform, Councillor pensions or the Bullying and harassment some of our members face from Reform. Also, we work on behalf of individual councils and councillors to improve relations with the national party.
This year will be crucial for the party as we take on hard right Reform and Tories and deliver on behalf of our people.
Local Councillors will be crucial to our success and we want to support you in that fight.
If you are a Councillor, please nominate Claire and Peter at your next Labour Group meeting
