Kiran Khan

I am standing for the National Policy Forum because I believe Labour must remain rooted in the values of solidarity, equality and democracy, and because our policy-making structures should empower members and affiliated organisations, not sideline them.

Our movement was built to give working people a collective voice. That means developing policy that is bold, credible and transformative: tackling inequality, rebuilding public services, delivering a green industrial strategy with secure jobs, and extending democratic ownership and accountability across our economy. It also means defending trade union rights and ensuring that those who create the wealth of our society have a real say in how it is run.

On the NPF, I would work to strengthen transparency and meaningful consultation, ensuring that members’ priorities are reflected in final policy outcomes. I am particularly committed to social justice, education, housing and to making sure Labour’s programme speaks directly to the lived experience of our communities.

I want to be part of a constructive presence on the NPF that works collaboratively, argues confidently for our values, and helps shape a programme capable of winning support and delivering real change in government.

I am happy to be supported by the CLGA and would also ask you to also support Theresa Mackey and Alex Charilaou (Youth).
