In Storm's own words

I'm standing to be your representative because Labour have failed to make the changes we need or hold power to account - over many decades in control of Councils across England, and now again in Government.

Having spent my life working for change on economic and environmental issues, I realised we need radical change within Parliament and locally in our Councils.

If elected I promise to take strong action on:

air pollution that afflicts all of us, including south London hotspots

providing truly affordable housing for South Londoners

protecting our public healthcare system from privatisation and profiteering

fighting the closure of cultural spaces and small businesses through large-scale developments

I'm keen that as the world's 6th richest country, all of us in the UK must share in a fairer and more sustainable future.

The Green Party are the main challengers to Labour and Conservatives across London, and the only party effectively challenging the change the agenda.

I have lived in South London for much of my life. Despite leaving school and home aged 13, I studied Environmental Science at University, whilst being involved in environmental research, LGBT activism, and campaigns to protect wildlife habitat. I have established several businesses and housing co-operatives, and around the Iraq war; I help found a protest which prevented building over Crystal Palace Park.

I have the determination, skills, and willpower to ensure we and future generations can benefit from a tolerant and resilient society.

I want to bring to parliament the voice of sustainability and the prospect of sharing our wealth and resources between all, rather than the 1%,

Even a small number of Green MPs can make a world of difference to protect our wages, health service and clean air. So vote for what you believe in.
