Gemma Bolton

I’m standing for a fourth term on Labour’s NEC because I believe that our Labour government needs a fundamental change in direction, and for a democratic party where members are respected and valued at every level.

Labour must implement transformative, bold and popular policies that reject the hate and division of an increasingly threatening far-right. We must invest in our communities to reverse years of Tory decline; support public ownership; fight poverty and racism and adopt a peace-oriented foreign policy – which includes opposing Trump’s aggressive military actions in Venezuela and Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

During over six years on the NEC, I’ve seen that we’re strongest as a party when members feel empowered and engaged. That’s why local parties should always select their parliamentary and council candidates.

In addition to serving three terms on Labour’s NEC, I’ve also been a parliamentary candidate; served on the Women’s Conference Arrangements Committee; as CLP Equalities and Youth Officer; as Co-Chair of the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy (CLPD) and on the South East Regional Executive Committee.

I’m proudly endorsed by the Centre-Left Grassroots Alliance, including Momentum and CLPD. Please also vote: Yasmine Dar and Minesh Parekh.
