The London elections this May are going to be the first test for Labour’s new leader – but it’s the way we run London if we win that is the Labour movement’s real test. It’s not enough to leaflet and hope to coast through the next few…
December’s election result was devastating. Labour are now guaranteed to be out of government for a further five years, with some pundits arguing that we’re at least a decade more in opposition – given the huge task ahead to win back the…
I took the step to stand for the London Assembly to bridge the disconnect between Londoners and City Hall. Not enough people know what City Hall does, and many feel like they have no say in how decisions taken there affect their own lives…
Like many of you, I campaigned tirelessly during the general election. The defeat was devastating and winter has never felt darker. As we get ready for the fightback, I ask you to join me with hope as we work to win back the trust of our…

The first part of my LabourList campaign diary saw me visit Sutton and Cheam, then Ealing Central. Next, I went to Leeds, Wakefield, Doncaster and Chingford for a rollercoaster week, travelling up and down the country by train to meet as…
