Green Party candidate for Weetwood
I am shocked, appalled, and quite frankly, scared, at the accelerating inequality and environmental breakdown unfolding before our eyes. So I feel that I must do something positive to support our community and our planet. That’s why I am standing to become a Councillor in Weetwood. As your Councillor I will work to ensure that: * the wealthiest pay their fair share * our NHS and schools are protected * we are kind to immigrants, instead of demonising them * the natural world is prioritised * the most vulnerable in society are looked after, and * we put an end to politics-as-usual that is doing nothing to stop our declining living standards. The Greens, and I, are here to provide a new, hopeful, kind politics that’s focused on solving our problems collectively. If I become the next Weetwood Councillor I will stick up for my neighbours, and I will stand up to corporate interests.
