Climate & Energy
We have run out of time and can no longer take baby steps in tackling the climate emergency.
Health & public services
Our public services have been systematically weakened over decades, leaving the NHS, police and fire services struggling to cope with rising demand and the effects of austerity. Funding alone won’t fix this.
Housing
As someone who lived in social housing as a child, and now rents privately, I'm very much aware of both the importance of social housing and the pressure on generation rent. The housing crisis needs addressing.
Education
I believe that an educated society benefits us all. Failure to provide enough funding for education will store up problems for the UK in the future. But it's not just about the funding, the education system itself needs reviewing.
Jobs & Economy
Our economy does not work for many people on In-work benefits and poverty pay. We also have to acknowledge that endless economic growth is not sustainable, and automation will continue to have a major impact on job security.
Transport
The link between transport and environmental policies are self-evident, but it's an area that can leave politicians in conflict as they try to meet all their promises.
Peace & Defence
I'm a supporter of CAAT (Campaign Against the Arms Trade) and CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) and believe that peace will be achieved not through a show of strength, but through equality and social justice.
Democracy
UK politics is a pathetic state right now, gamesmanship between our main parties has brought us to a standstill, and many people are still angry that their voices go unheard.
