Ben Taylor

My name is Benjamin Justin Lewis Taylor (or Ben) I live in Croydon with my wife where we moved several years ago to start our family. I wasn’t born into a life of privilege, politics for me is about the struggle for justice not a comfortable career. I was raised by a single mum on benefits so I know what it’s like to see a parent worry about the bills, to live in temporary accommodation not knowing how long you’ll be there. I also know what it’s like to be ambitious and work towards aspirational goals. I was very lucky to come of age under a Labour government, it meant doors were open for me that were closed for years do many people.
