Labour’s candidate for Rochford and Southend East.

I’ve lived in Rochford and Southend East for 25 years. It’s where I work and have raised a family. I am so proud to be Labour’s candidate for the place I call home.

The Tories are in total disarray; struggling to negotiate Brexit, universal credit is plunging ever increasing numbers of people into relative poverty and NHS Trusts cannot cope with the depth of Tory cuts. Southend hospital continues to be under threat with cuts of £30 million per year coming down the line and all our schools are struggling to make ends meet.

It doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why I’ll be out and about, speaking to as many people as possible between now and the next election to deliver Labour’s message of hope for a government that stands up for the many, not the few.
