I am lucky to have lived a big, varied life in my 39 years.

Full statement

I grew up in a village in Lincolnshire, but have have also lived all over Europe: in London, Copenhagen, Milan and Sheffield. I've worked in community arts, in academia, and for the past decade in the digital sector. This broad base of experience has given me a strong sense of both reality and possibility. What has united my life so far has been trying to build (or tell stories of; to build the possibility of) better worlds. After being involved in student and environmental protests in my 20s and living the majority of my adult life under Tory rule I have been disheartened to see Keir Starmer's Labour Party give up on building better. Both Labour and Conservatives tell us they see the problems we face, but neither are brave or honest about solutions. The Green Party is - we put people and workers at the heart. Set out to increase wages; lower bills; protect the NHS; create green jobs; connect towns and villages with public transport and infrastructure which improves our lives, our health, and our wellbeing. I'm proud to stand for the Greens in 2024.
