I joined the Labour party out of a strong belief in its values and potential. Now more than ever, people need a government which is on their side, and a party who offer hope for the aspirational and protection for the vulnerable. I was born and raised in Portishead, joining the Labour Party after many years of youth-politics. During my degree in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Sheffield I have been successfully elected as Politics Councillor to the Student Union and university delegate to the NUS. A written statement can only do so much to portray my passion and excitement but with this executive role, I am sure you will quickly see my loyalty and aspirations.
