My Pledges
I will always stand up for the NHS and the principle of free healthcare at the point of use. That's why I've taken the NHS pledge.
I will always stand for human rights for all. That’s why I’ve pledged to put Palestine on the ballot, and support a ceasefire now and an end to UK weapons sales to Israel.
I will always stand up for the most vulnerable and most in need in society. That's why I've taken the Trussell Trust and JRF pledge to guarantee our essentials and social security for all.
