I have put my name forward for a West Midlands seat on the Executive of #YourParty. My immediate priority on the CEC will be to work to put trade unions at the heart of building our new party – and to campaign for the widest anti-austerity and anti-war challenge in the 2026 elections. Your Party conference decisively rejected a ban on dual membership. Jeremy and Zarah have consistently said Your Party will be different, fully controlled by its members. I therefore believe the members should be allowed to vote for whom they want on the CEC, with no bans on candidates decided in secret! Next week, I hope to be able to explain to you in more detail why I am seeking your nomination. Solidarity.
