We need radical change for our country
“Fourteen years of conservative cuts, including five years with the Liberal Democrats have damaged our economy, our communities and our public services. Labour is offering no investment, no reversal and no real change. I am not prepared to put up with any more of these ruthless cuts that have broken apart our communities.
I believe a society where so few have so much and so many have so little is immoral. We need a firm break from the current political consensus. I will work to tackle the real issues affecting our community from low pay and exploitation in the garment industry and the closure of local services, to protecting access to NHS doctors, investing in our young people, tackling the climate emergency and speaking out for justice in Palestine, calling for a lasting, permanent ceasefire in Gaza
With the support of the people of Leicester East I will continue to campaign tirelessly for real change, real justice and a reversal of the inequality that has enriched a few while the many struggle.”
My Priorities
✓ REAL PAY RISE FOR ALL
For years pay rises have fallen behind, forcing people to choose between heating or eating. I will demand a minimum wage of at least £15 per hour and a reversal of cruel benefit cuts.
✓ GREEN NEW DEAL
Energy Bills are too high. Fossil Fuel companies are making record profits, whilst destroying the planet. Along with Rail, Water and Mail; Energy must be brought back into public ownership and made sustainable to provide new jobs, protecting people, planet and nature.
✓ HOUSING FOR THE MANY
Up to 42% of household income is spent on rents. One million are waiting to be housed. Over 300,000 are homeless. Decent affordable housing is a human right. I will demand mass Council house building and rent controls.
✓ PROTECTING OUR NHS
Years of cuts and privatisation have put our NHS in a state of collapse. The NHS must be restored to a fully funded public service. We need a Wealth Tax to help fund the NHS - I will fight for this.
✓ WELCOME REFUGEES & WORLD FREE FROM WAR
Refugees did not cause the cost of living crisis, that was corporate profits and greed. Not people. We need an immigration system that provides safe routes for those fleeing war, persecution and torture. As your MP, I will vote for peace and an end to all wars.
It’s been an honour and a privilege to be the Member of Parliament for Leicester East.
I hope you will re-elect me on Thursday 4th July to be your representative in parliament.
