I couldn’t be prouder to come from Norfolk. I grew up in one of the county’s villages and went to the local state school in Downham Market. My first job was on a nearby farm and then in a pub, cafe and shop locally.

I’ve had a good state education, a good job and good health care from the NHS. In a prosperous society everyone deserves those foundations for a good life. This isn’t our reality in Norwich North under the Conservative. Many people simply don’t feel better off after fourteen long years of Conservative Government. We need change and I’m putting myself forward to be your MP to help bring about better lives for all

Throughout my life I’ve stood up for fairness and have a track record of getting things done. I’ve worked in the charity sector campaigning on children’s rights, hunger, poverty and climate change. I’ve also worked in parliament so I know how to make change happen in Westminster.  I’ve helped communities as a councillor, school governor and charity trustee. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved but I’ve come back home to Norfolk to fight for the investment, opportunity and hope that we deserve. 

I’ve made my home in Norwich North- I know what a brilliant place it is. But our community has been let down, just as  this country has. I will use all of my energy and experience to stand up for you and our community.

Since becoming your candidate, I’ve spoken to thousands of you, listening to your experience under this Government and the change you want to see. With people right across our area, I’ve already fought to save our NHS walk-in centre, shone a spotlight on the state of our buses and backed our local businesses. I’ll be a visible, active MP, working tirelessly with local people, organisations and businesses across our community  to  secure a fairer future for everyone.
