I’m proud to be standing to be your Labour MP for Peckham, taking up the baton from Harriet Harman.
For me, it’s a chance to represent a constituency that means a great deal to me. It was in the Sierra Leonean community here in Peckham where my family found refuge when we fled from West Africa when I was child. It was this community that taught me the values of compassion and solidarity that have shaped my politics. And it was here I first understood just how much the system is failing all of us. No matter how hard people work, how talented they are, they can still face poverty and be denied the opportunities they deserve.
It was in Peckham I resolved that this must change. It’s why I became an economist. It’s why I’ve spent the last 15 years developing and campaigning for big to bring this change about - from working at the heart of the last Labour government, to being CEO of the New Economics Foundation.
The need for change has never been more urgent. I’ve listened to people from across our community. People are worried about the cost of living, the lack of homes they can afford, our schools and hospitals at breaking point and a police force they no longer trust. Above all else, I know you’re tired of being held down by an economy that doesn’t work and a Tory government that is failing you. It’s time for change.
I want to be your voice in a Labour government and bring big ideas to transform the country and deliver this change.
Peckham needs an MP with local roots, who can make an impact nationally. Someone who can give voice to the issues you care about. Someone with the big ideas to make a change, who knows how to help a Labour government transform lives in this community.
This is why I’m asking for your vote.
