Welcome!

This website has been a platform mainly to share my political ideas and to urge people to vote for me as a representative of our community and a member of the Labour party.

I am now taking a wider view of the world and I will be sharing my ideas about issues affecting our community, but without seeking your vote, only to provoke thought and encourage communication.

However, I still believe that remaining in the EU is the best way forward for UK.

I still urge you to use your vote to bring fresh thinking and kinder policies for the benefit of all of us

– together we can make a real change for the better!
