Deeply proud to be backed by Alan Johnson, a giant of the Labour movement.
The deputy leadership is a choice between a strong government true to our values and ready to win again, or the divided party for which Farage is desperate.

I’m a campaigner - and I’ll be a campaigning Deputy Leader.
This last week I’ve visited every region & nation in Britain - telling Labour’s story.
We need to unite, bring change, and defeat Reform to win again.

Almost every newspaper and broadcaster in Britain is now waging a racist 24/7 campaign of hatred against migrants on behalf of the ultra rich. In response to this, one small thing you can do is donate to the NGOs supporting refugees.
