“I am incredibly proud to have been selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate for South Norfolk. I grew up in a rural constituency of villages, market towns and farms, not unlike South Norfolk. I moved to Norfolk at the age of 18 and never considered leaving. Norfolk became my true home.

“Over the last 18 years I have worked in different health and social care jobs, from support worker in a homeless drop-in centre to a care assistant in DIss. I was fortunate enough to receive some amazing NHS care and as I result decided to train as a nurse. Since qualifying as a mental health nurse two years ago, I have worked in acute care, more recently providing crisis mental health care in South Norfolk.

“In 2016, I was elected as a local councillor and have a particular interest, along with the NHS, in improving standards of private rented housing, as this has such an enormous impact on health and wellbeing.

“Being the best nurse I can be is no long enough. I cannot stand by as the Tories privatise so much of our NHS, with promised funding just a political illusion. So I am standing as Labour’s candidate for South Norfolk on Thursday 12^th December.”

I pledge to /

• Fight for our NHS and better social care – for a modern, well resourced NHS, with high quality care that is not for profit and investment in social care.
• Protect community policing – to reverse the cuts to our neighbourhood policing, decimated by Tories.
• An economy that works for all – to create secure employment, tackle corporate tax avoidance, with no tax increases for 95% of us.
• Brexit – a binding public vote on a new deal within six months, with Remain on the ballot.
• Real action on climate change – a Green New Deal with zero carbon energy systems by the 2030’s and new homes zero carbon by 2022.
