I’m someone that is:

- Working class
- Private renter
- Previously on benefits
- Travels by train
- Will receive no inheritance
- Would like a shop less than 15 mins away

As someone that actually grew up in poverty, there’s a multitude of ways to break that cycle. A lot of them in the Labour manifesto.
I want an end to the 2 child benefit cap, but it won’t end poverty overnight. A lot are being very disingenuous to attack the Lab gov tonight.

- A labour Gov decriminalised homosexuality
- A Labour Gov repealed s.28
- A Labour Gov created the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Act finally protecting trans people.
It’s wilfully ignorant to say Labour does not have a strong record of LGBTQ+ rights.
- voted against decriminalising homosexuality three times.
- refused to repeal s.28 for political reasons.
- went to the ECHR to try stop trans people having basic rights.
- actively party of the social murder of trans children.
The Labour Party has no place at pride.

Next Monday the Brighton Pavilion Greens will wake up knowing who they will face in the General Election. They don’t want it to be me because they know I’ll beat them. Brighton is special to me. I’ve been a fighter all my life, now I want to fight for Brighton in parliament.

Every LGBTQ+ person knows that family is not always the best protectors. Our homes are not always the safest spaces.
Stuff like this is dangerous and backwards
Parents are the best protectors of their children. Exposing children to sexualised material & keeping it secret from parents is a safeguarding risk.

Huge thank you to Sussex Police for keeping everyone safe.
We have now stood down from Queens Road, Brighton, where around 2,000 people who gathered this evening for a peaceful protest, have now dispersed.
There were no arrests.
We would like to thank the community for their support & engagement to help us keep people safe.

Are you intending to be distributing leaflets advertising your political party at a counter protest against racists?
Are you out of your mind? This is a time for community leaders to stand together, regardless of party politics, against hate.
Please rethink this.
It's horrifying that fascist groups plan to come to our city this eve to stoke violence and spread hate. Greens are joining the counter-protest to make it clear that we stand with communities being attacked. Let's show that diversity and love can drive away hatred and fear.

The whole discourse of trans healthcare needs to fundamentally change. We need to look at every case individually with care and respect.
The people that matter are the children and their families, we shouldn’t be making sweeping decisions based off conservative attack lines.

There was a time the arts were an option for working class kids. The Tories have made it all but impossible and it is now an industry filled with inherent privilege

There’s sometimes you have to have reasoned debates, and there’s other you have to call out the malicious crap these people talk.
Pantomimes have had dames in them for hundreds of years. Shakespeare had men playing women in the 1500s.
Stop the culture war rubbish Douglas!
It’s totally inappropriate to hold a show like this for kids under the age of six.
Story time for babies and young kids shouldn’t focus on gender or sexual identity.
That is common sense and on behalf of constituents who’ve contacted me, I’ve raised this with the council.

EMA changed my life.
I was a 16 year old in a family that had never been to uni. I didn’t think it was for me. But that incentive to stay on made uni a possibility and helped me out of poverty.
It’s the difference Labour can make. Not a campaign slogan, just the truth.
In Wales, the education maintenance is being increased to £40 per week to support students through the cost-of-living crisis.
In England, the UK Government has failed to support students & young people with increasing costs.
That's the difference Labour makes in Government.
