When my parents came to this country, they had everything thrown at them. They believed that in society we all look after each other and that if someone fell we should be there to help them stand again.
I remember being told at school that I could not pursue the career I wanted because of who I am and where I was from. That gave me the determination to have my voice heard and that of other young people.
Labour transformed my life. Better school buildings, getting into university and working as a teacher where every child did matter. Sure Start helped me when I needed it most, my daughter getting on the savings ladder with the Child Trust Fund and my late husband receiving outstanding cancer care.
My story will be not that different from the thousands of families in Watford. People who just want the opportunity and chance to do better, to get on.
As a Labour councillor for 8 years, I have helped shape and deliver a Labour Manifesto. With very little, we have been able to create great things. Making a difference to people.
From new council homes, to building new medical centres, special schools and adult education centres. Supporting local businesses, high streets and creating employment opportunities. But more importantly, people have a voice and involvement in the decisions that impact their lives. That is what Labour can do in power.
Our communities need a Labour government. Watford needs a Labour MP. Someone who will fight for its NHS and hospital, for better public transport, for affordable housing and protections for leaseholders.
I work hard for residents. I campaign all year round speaking to voters, addressing their concerns and being their voice. I will be a Labour MP that will work with all our members, our councillors and all communities.
Members are the beating heart of any campaign and I will work with members across the constituency, setting up local action teams and look to recruit more members.
This is a crucial seat and campaigning is key. I will campaign weekly, all year round meeting voters and be grounded in the community.
I will also hold regular and a variety of fundraising events to help support our General and Local Election campaigns.
As our MP I will ensure responsiveness to residents and members. Regular surgeries and regular reports back to you as members.
particularly for better bus routes and NHS services
for better rights and protections for leaseholders, private renters and people who dealing with fire safety and cladding issues.
Doesn't deal with supply.
We need to build more stock for social, for rent, for ownership.
Very good points made here about the knock-on effects of BtL mortgage rate rises to the housing market. If landlords can't make the sums work at higher rates and sell up, then you potentially get a big jump in supply esp. in London flats

Great to be out with @CllrSButt today in Kingsbury ward with the Brent Community Skip. So many resident making use of the @BrentLabour scheme to dispose of large items responsibily. @CllrSButt even using an e-cargo bike to help residents! https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1639611792350666752
You've clearly never been on the doorstep.
Show me the data @Keir_Starmer - show me the 'receipts'.
What percentage of the British public says the smell of cannabis is 'ruining their lives'. 0.001%? Maybe less?
These are the same people who bang on about 'evidence based policy'. https://twitter.com/hoffman_noa/status/1638857991658291200
Rest in eternal peace.
A remarkable life dedicated to public service.
Thank you, your Majesty.
Long Live the King.
