A voice for
progressive change

I’ll be a voice for the progressive change and hope that Labour has always delivered when we’re at our best.

I will champion our members, unions and elected representatives, creating a bridge between our movement and our leadership. A strong, independent voice.

I want this Labour Government to succeed, and sometimes that means speaking the truth. I'll never snipe from the sidelines but when we've got it wrong we need to have the guts to listen to the country and change course.

My promise to you

People, country, movement.

I don't just visit my constituency: I was born here in Manchester, my kids go to the same school I went to. This is my home.

When I get back from Parliament, I know people don't want to hear a bunch of Westminster jargon or poll-tested sound bites.

We live in a wonderful country, people are smart and engaged and they want us to make the honest argument about what we're doing and why.

That's how we'll get back on course and it's how we'll deliver the change that we promised.

Involve our members

Connect with our communities

Be upfront with the country
