Inequality is at the heart of much that's wrong with society.

Full statement

It pits struggling people against each other while those with the most hoard wealth and power. In Hatch Warren and Beggarwood I will:

• Bring my INDEPENDENT voice to issues of environmental protection, land development and infrastructure; • PROTECT Old Down and our green spaces for future generations; • Hold the new Beggarwood Surgery provider to ACCOUNT; • LISTEN to residents, WORK tirelessly for them and FIGHT for their community without fear or favour.

WE are a fresh, collaborative force in British politics uniting people of all backgrounds to fight for equality, so that everyone benefits. WE fight for:

• Equality in Politics and Business - Equal Pay - Equality in Education - Equal Parenting and Caregiving - Equal Media Treatment - Equality in Healthcare - Ending Violence Against Women & Girls

Why WE?

• WE bring an equality lens to every facet of local government: representing everyone regardless of their wealth, gender, race, sexuality or class; • An independent voice: no donors, unions, party structures or traditions getting in the way of scrutiny and action; • A truly collaborative approach, taking the tribalism and power games out of politics.

I will be a strong voice on the Council for the people of Hatch Warren & Beggarwood because I will answer to them alone.
