Young people need a Labour government. With that prospect in reach, here’s where I stand:

• As a teacher, I know first-hand that we need an education system that is free and accessible from cradle to grave.
• As a young worker and trade union representative in Young Labour, I am committed to working with the labour movement to organise young members.
• I have worked on campaigns centring women’s safety at local and national levels as part of the Misogyny is Hate campaign.
• I know every door counts. We need our youth structures to be fully geared towards winning the general election.
• Our Party must do better on trans rights, something for which I will fearlessly advocate.

I’ll fight for policies young people care about:

• Affordable and accessible housing, including support for renters and transport costs.
• Labour’s commitment to introduce the New Deal for Working People within 100 days of government, delivering the biggest upgrade in individual and collective employment rights in generations.
• Stamping out the shameful racism that exists inside and outside of our Party.
• A foreign policy guided by peace and international law – including a full and immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and a recognition of the State of Palestine.
